Hey, I'm doing PSD's to HTML but the code it gives is with tables. Is this seen as OK or should I learn how to do it with divs only? Its nice with tables as it kinda makes the CSS easier with tables + divs.

Any replies appriciated

Thanks

        Keeping tables out of the equation is generally considered better design. If you absolutely have to use them, that's ok though.

      Thats a Myth, Google or any other SE can crawl tables easily and that wont affect your rankings!

      on the other side if you use divs your websites will be easier to customize!

    Having been doing this since 1995 it took me a long time to break the tables habit and go with standards compliant css designs. Its completely worth taking the time to do it right.

      I have read so much about this general misconception (raised mostly from SEOs). They consider the table-based code a big "no no" from SEO point of view.

      Well the story is different though. Whether the code is table-based or div-based, both are SEO compliant. Among few main differences (in table & div-based code), one is that; div-based code is more "cleaner" and "lighter" than table-based code; and that is the reason most people go for tableless, clean and valid code.

      Learning tableless coding would be great as people are now getting aware about SEO and everything; so it would definitely help you a lot in future.

      PS: I use to be a big fan of table-based coding but right now I am switching all my websites to div-based code; coz it's clean---hehehe.

      Enjoy and good luck.

        Yes and no. You'll need to use a crawl simulator to see how your site is displayed.

        I'm not referring to SEO compliance. I'm not fully certain what you mean by SEO compliant. I was referring to W3C standards and compatibility with screen readers for the blind.
