This is just me personally but If I ever go to a site that is just like a table with like nav on the left and content on the right I just leave.

Tables are just so unproffesional and ugly.

I only ever use them to like hold or postiion content in a div section.

I only use div sections.

Who agrees that tables are gross.

Also it seems like they are kind of behind with like other w3 guidlines.

There just weird.

Could you give an example of what it is you dislike? I'm not exactly clear on what you mean.

I actually like tables. I think they're clean and simple, and they make things go wherever you want them to. They have limits, but in general I can make them work for me.

I hate using divs because of the alignment issues you get between different browsers; I don't know if it's only in Xanga you get this issue (that's where my hatred spawned), but it's frickin' annoying. The "_margin-left: ###px;" doesn't seem to work in Xanga either. I discovered tables several years after I started using divs (I know, kinda backwards), and have barely touched divs since.
