Hi there,
I'm wondering if anyone can cure my 'confusion'! *s*
I understand tables & divs but I'm not sure which to use in positioning text & images. Someone told me that divs are the way to go but they can play up on other browsers. Do/Should you use tables?
Thank You

essentially...

css and divs should be used for creating the layout of your webpage. that is placing things in different spots.

tables should be used for "tabular" data. that is any content that would normally be seen in a rows/column type display.

many people have used tables to create the layouts. recently it has been a "cool" thing to go the "correct" way and use css divs instead.
