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. |

You can assign tables id's and classes like any other thing. I'm not sure about individual rows and cells (I haven't tried it), but I don't see why you couldn't.
I don't think tables are complex at all, although I have to agree that divs are much simpler. My problem is that divs come with all sorts of problems. For example, padding; in one browser the padding is included in the width, and in another browser it's added on to the width specified. It's like, *headdesk* Normally I use a combination of divs and tables. I'll use tables to structure the layout, then use divs within the table cells for modules and such. :] My coding is kind of self-taught, so it can be kind of messy sometimes. |
