DIV vs Tables - pros and cons?
Vote:
Does anyone have a opinion on which is the better approach for structuring layout in EPiServer?(or in general for that sake?)
The samples use DIVs quite extensively, but is there a good reason for not using table-based layout?
Complexity?
Robustness?
Browser compatibility?
Flexibility?
...?

tables are bad from an accessibility point of view. Since data is structured in an unlogical way. Screenreaders also have a hard time reading a website that has lots and lots of tables. Tables should only be used to show tabular data.
