The Pros and Cons of replacing Tables with CSS-P
Replacing tables with div tags in CSS-P is the latest in web design. Here are a few excellent links and some controversy on the subject:
Eric Meyer - the King of CSS:

For a controversial heretic view that has some good points:

Someone on a list asked:
"Can anyone explain to me WHY where I am now is not good enough and why TABLELESS ccsp is better?"
And Eric Meyer replied:
"To be honest, this isn't something that's really on-topic. If you want advice on how to make a certain layout tableless, that would be on-topic. Debating the worth of tables versus positioning is not. Both have strengths and weaknesses. Arguing about which one is "better" will get us nowhere. Therefore, this thread needs to end now. Thanks." -- Eric A. Meyer, List Chaperone
