    yes, you can use TABLE, it's still good for making web page, and it also take more time to load;


    however if you only have a liitle tables, the time to load is trivial

    Never use tables for layout. There are plenty of elements and CSS properties for doing that without a table and better, too.

    Yes you can use tables in a css based layout. Css doesnt effect your code it only effects appearance.
