Good article on mimicking tables with CSS here.

I actually pulled the article from here. The comments in both articles are pretty enlightening.

What exactly was wrong with the <table> tag, anyway? Why is everyone so against it?

By web standards using tables to create a layout is the wrong way to use tables; tables were meant to store data like a spreadsheet.

But if it works, then why should it matter if it's "wrong" or "right"?

o_O I don't know, I just can't see anything as "wrong" in coding if it serves whatever purpose you're using it for and it doesn't cause any problems.
