Tables are valid HTML, but in the spirit of web standards, they are discouraged for layout. Essentially, if you're marking up the kind of data that you'd find in a spreadsheet, use a table. If you're talking about laying out a page structure, you should look at using CSS positioning instead, there's a lot of advantages. The best tutorial I've found on how CSS positioning works is http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/ - I had it saved on my PDA and read it every morning on the train ride into work for weeks, until it really sank in.
