Me, I love tables. It is what I was taught first and makes more sense to me.
But now I am starting to get div tages.
With me wanting my site to be theme aware, and possibly using what is called a 'persitant', I can have someone come to the site select a theme and surf, come back later and the theme is still there (unless they closed out all browser windows and the persitamce is removed from memory).
and with cascading style sheets, I can cnahge all the sub-themes of my site and make it very easy for me to wrote articles. All I have to do is put the text in the proper area. Once I learn how to connect asp/php to the database, I can create my own app on my computer with VB and Access to make the webpage for me and upload it to the database on-line... I think...
But I still like tables. To me they are more straught forward. Picture the cell in your mind and your most of the way there. Organize your code structure so you will not get lost and your good to go.
then again, you could do that with div tags...
So which is better? Some say DIV tags are faster on load but I have not seen a difference.
