To CSS or not to CSS?

[ThreeD]

Basic design question, do you design most of your sites with CSS by now, or do you still use the good old table tag?

I've looked through some of the biggest sites online, and most of them still seem to be using tables. I just know that I wouldn't want to be the webmaster converting lets say ebay or amazon from tables to a nifty css layout

CSS is something I never knew much about, Now I do I use it for most things.

I guess tables are the old fashioned way when it comes to designing websites - the new era of websites will all be running CSS layouts. For those of you who haven't even taken a look at CSS may want to do so

For certain layouts you just can't do without tables, I use a nice combo of tables and CSS on the few sites I'm working on, works like a charm so far!

Straight CSS for designing and formatting. Tables are designed to display data in an ordered way.

Besides if you are going to use CSS for the style of your tables why not just get rid of the tables and use all CSS.

I use CSS and tables at the moment. This will be my method until I learn more about positioning etc.

CSS seems to provide the easiest customization.

I always use it because i can move things around really easily without having to try and figure out complicated tables.

If you use valid css the results seem to be the same in Internet explorer and mozilla firefox.

I use a bit of both.

My website is backened by CSS with all the external and inline styles but the main graphical layout is on tables. I may eventually go with 100% CSS but not at the moment. I do plan to read more into layouts with CSS when I get more into web design however.
