What's better? Coding in DIV or Tables?

DIV is the best

 

Here is an exemplar of a "floating box" layout ..........

http://jp29.org/floatbox.htm

.......... and the accompanying CSS code:

/* fbox - Style sheet */

h1 {
text-align: center;
}

h2 {
text-align: center;
}

div.topbox {
border: 1px solid #000;
float: left;
width: 96.5%;
}

div.onebox {
border: 1px solid #000;
float: left;
width: 24%;
}

div.twobox {
border: 1px solid #000;
float: left;
width: 24%;
}

div.threebox {
border: 1px solid #000;
float: left;
width: 24%;
}

div.fourbox {
border: 1px solid #000;
float: left;
width: 24%;
}

p.text {
padding: 0.5em;
}

 

If you know what you are doing then divs, if you don't then tables.

 

This has been answered godknowshowmany times already.

The search function is a pretty good tool you know

 

divs all the way

 

I think DIV is better alternative cause you can modify it externally through css very easily.
