The thing to avoid is using tables for EVERYTHING, which used to be popular. In fact, I just took over an application that did this - everything was a table, everywhere. In general, avoid tables for layout where possible and only use them to display data, like query results, or reports.John
I concur.Using tables for page layout is bad. It robs you of flexibility, bulks up your page, and complicates your markup.
However, using tables for tabular data is perfectly acceptable. When data has a natural association with a table row or column there is absolutely no reason not to use tables to display it.
So divs and spans and css for layout. Tables and css for tabular data.

That you should use Div's and spans to show tabular data. I written applications both ways and it appears that divs/spans for tabular data displays a bit faster, but tables are easier to line up and format data.What has been y'alls experience with this?
