What is better to use "div" or "tables"?

[IntegratedS]

Hi all,
I would like to know some doubts that I have. I have observer that some websites are using "div" and other "tables".
What is the difference between those 2? What do I get or what results, if I use "div" or "tables" in my website.
I would like to hear some professional opinions.
Thanks a lot to all,

Using div is more better and good, is a css property but table is obsolete and more of old html. Cheers.

Use DIV for positioning elements on the page; i.e., for page layout.

Use TABLE only for presenting tabular data within content.

The use of div enables your site more consistent accross many browsers.There are areas you can use table like the imediate above contributor has stated. Cheers.

I want to say that you use DIV for your site.

Using the div is the better way for your site

Both are important
Div is used to align the data in different forms.
And Tables are use to insert the tabular data.

Use tables only for making graphs and charts. The code is a lot larger than with DIVs. Though with proper practice, you can do the same with DIVs. I have used tables 2 this year out of probably 30 projects. I used to love tables, but DIVs are much smaller... better loading speed and SEO. One table tag being off will screw with Googlebot, adsense and others.
