Hi,

I am into web designing.  
and i am using Tables and nested tables to layout contents in webpage.

But nowadays …CSS is everywhere.

So my question is …If you are developing a professional website, which one you use for page layout ?

Using Table is good or Tabless less layout using CSS and Div is good ?

when i looked to the source of [Macromedia.com](http://Macromedia.com), I cant see any tables.  
I think that Table era is Ended .

Please help  
nasih

CSS based layout is better, but often harder.

I think it’s worth it though… you get loads of benefits like easy alternate styles, accessibily, and ease of updating.

[www.alistapart.com](http://www.alistapart.com) is a good resource 🙂
