Still using tables?

[ShortCircuit]

Anyone here still using tables to code their websites?

I use tables, but Im always told I should just use all CSS

What do you think?

Yes, I still use tables. What are you stupposed to use??? Can you show me a website that doesn't use tables?

xHTML/CSS is fairly tricky to grasp, but offers a lot more in terms of "neatness" and better design. I find tables quite painful at times, wheras CSS offers a more rigid layout.

Have a look at http://www.csszengarden.com/ - for more information, ideas and inspiration!

For now, my site is comprised of only tables. I hope to learn more about CSS so I can change it sometime.

I only use CSS at this point. CSS has a lot of weaknesses, and it's not currently possible to do certain things without resorting to hacks, but its benefits far outweigh the negative aspects.

I can't even think about using CSS until I fully understand what it is. The closest thing to CSS I know about is RSS, but that's completely different.

RSS has nothing to do with CSS
CSS is very easy, you only need to know the basics at first then you can easily expand. Its really a necessity to know it these days.

Looks like we have mixed opinions which is what i expected!

Ehh... yes. Just about every website with a valid XHTML button has one (not every, but just about).

Divs are the alternative, and I definitely suggest you learn how to use them. They're more powerful and, in my opinion, much easier to manage.

So, how do you create a webpage without tables? I've seen divs but I'm a little uncertain how they can position things in the correct place. Wouldn't DIVs be HTML and not CSS? I don't really understand the difference in XHTML and all of the other HTMLs.......
