Hi
Which would you recommend Divs or tables for layout? I understand tables but
what are the benefits if Divs?
Thanks

http://www.iwdn.net would actually be a great question to ask the guys and
gals over there.

Tables were meant to display tabular data. With CSS, your content will be
seen as it should be (through code) and a lot easier to maintain in the long
run.

I assume you mean "tables for layout" vs. "CSS for layout". Both are good
methods when used intelligently and with care, and you can have W3C-valid
code using either layout method. Use whichever you prefer.
