<div> or <table> IYO

HI!

I see a lot of good sites that still use table based layout.

What is the best for SEO, <div> or <table>, do we still need to use <table>?

 

<div> is better IMO. Not sure about SEO but div's can serve the purpose of a table aswell and display better than tables in all browsers.

 

To layout a page, css should be used, see this post I made regarding why tables should not be used to layout pages.

 

I don't think it matters all that much for SEO, but overall divs are better.

 

Another vote for <div>s,
less coding, more flexiblility, easy to edit,

I love them

 

Div is better. Not only for SEO but for multiple reasons.

 

for layout designing DIV is better.
If you only want to create a regular table ... use tables.

 

There's no question that divs, or more accurately, css in general, is much more powerful than just using tables.

I was stuck on tables for years, but once you make the switch to css and get a feel for it, the convenience and power advantages are enormous.

 

definitely divs

 

Yes, div.

But there are some guys out there still keeps saying "div and css are stupid, let's stick with table" and wasting their time to prove it.

 

I don't think there is an SEO difference, but page efficency difference, yes!

 

go for div tags! only use tables for tabular data... but for the rest.. even html forms use div tags ^_~
