Tables or Div, which is better for web page designing?
Before, starting explanation on "Table or Div", let's take an insight on; what a website must have?
1. A good navigation system, so that every visitor of the site can enjoy and have a great experience.
2. A very-2 light weight files size of every web page, so that web pages can be downloaded in less time.
3. An eye soothing page designing, it attracts all the visitors and compels them to visit again.
4. Browser friendly website, it means a website that can be viewed same on all popular browsers.
When designer codes site architecture through table tag, then a website cannot be as light as in Div in terms of weight of the pages, so undoubtedly it takes much time in downloading and uploading also. Because table exists physically on the site, and when anyone open the site then browsers download all tables first. When it comes to Div, it doesn't happen with Div. Div tags are CSS based containers, a designer uses IDs and Classes to define and design all Div and structure.
You must know, a CSS based site is much better in terms of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) also.
Many search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Msn read CSS based websites easily and quickly, while ignores tables. It means DIV based sites are getting better position and ranking on search engines. Every website is being designed only for getting good amount of business and to target global audience. So, it is obvious that Table or Div war is now over, CSS has got acceptance in web designing world.

Div is better of the website as compare to table.

For better designing structure I think there is no big difference. It all depends on you if you like using table or div. I, personally would prefer table than div. I much used to it.

Re: Tables or Div, which is better for web page designing?
I would always prefer to use a div over a table...
However this is more of a debate of using tables in replace of using css.
The reason for this is that css can be used to style any html tag element or section of the page.
Tables are very limited in this regard.
For example tables are not nice to keep formatting when removing a section of the table all the formatting goes out the window causing you to have to re-do the table.
CSS is a much more flexible way to style a page and is a web standard as defined by w3c.

Re: Tables or Div, which is better for web page designing?
My advice is to create your design using div instead of tables. Div tags are more SEO friendly and are easier to be managed. I use table tag only for displaying tabular data

Re: Tables or Div, which is better for web page designing?
I would prefer divs over table because divs are more flexible, compatible with most browsers, with the use of css you can do anything with divs.
