CSS vs Tables?

[Brian]

Surprised that there hasnt already been a post in regards to this, so i figured that i would make one.

For the past few months I have been trying to get away from tables, as to keep the content and layout seperate. This makes sit design changes VERY easy. As well designing sites with using css for layout stucture saves you bandwidth by not having to render those 50 tables you need to have otherwise. I am just curious as what thoughts other people have on this issue.

BUT over the last few months ive been trying to do more and more CSS based

css gives you more control on the look and feel of your tables and the rest of the page

I agree CSS is great, but don't forget those using old browsers.
