Just to reiterate - tables are fine in situations where you need a table - I once made a table showing all 256 basic colours - try doing that in CSS! Tables should *not* really be used for the layout of a page though. It is quite tricky to get the hang of, but often this is only because CSS is a far more powerful positioning tool than tables could ever be.
