Depends on who you talk to really. I like tables better, but a lot of the newer web designers are jumping on the CSS bandwagon. CSS can be a really useful language if you know what you're doing with it. I've never experimented with IR's CSS output though.

Tables should only be used for tabular data, any other use of tables is wrong - easier to get the hang of, but nevertheless a bad practice.

i would assume if you don't no what CSS is, the don't use it... it will be a much bigger headache making a change, but its defenetly worth learning if your into it enough
tables are a lot easier to the average person

Most web sites are made with tables. Probably because it's easier. Even phpbb (this forum) is made with tables.
CSS is kind of tricky in my opinion in terms of cross browser support. For example IE and Mozilla interpret padding and margin differently. CSS also doesn't really work too well on older browsers, but since tables have been around since the beginning, they will work most of the time without any problems in most browsers.

I was looking for one of those to post. I love CSS. The past few sites I've built have used them. But I've used tables too, though. Mostly used CSS for text formatting and such. |

Well, lol, I stand corrected. It should work in most older browsers. Found this on W3 Schools:

I still think tables are better and will fight for them until the day I die.

Course you could include a message for those with older browsers that tells them to UPDATE YOUR BROWSER!!!
Theres just no excuse for that kind of thing  |

There should be some sort of worldwide federation that forces everybody to use one browser. Firefox of course.
