I use CSS/Divs. I use Tables only for tabular data.

A thought just occured to me. Does anyone actually code table layouts?? Whenever I have had a look at the source of table-based sites it all seems to be automatic stuff generated by Dreamweaver, or worse, Imageready.

On the other hand, all the CSS sites I see seem to be pretty much hand-coded.

I use CSS based coding except for when coding skins for vBulletin. Why? Basically I find CSS code to be the future and therefore I dont want to be left behind. Ive found my sites faster and easier to update as well. Plus production time has gone down greatly.

Strictly CSS/XHTML valid tableless layouts.

I do this so my clients sites are future proofed and their sites are cross browser compatible.

Tables are for tabular data only and not for layouts, hence the name <table> and not <layout>

CSS is also for editing whole site structures and designs with one page.

They've expanded their purpose though. It happens in verbal language too.

strictly CSS and XHTML with no tables.

i'm still relearning my CSS...IE's lack of support annoys me.

i actually server compatible browsers with a MIME type of application/xhtml+xml instead of text/html so i have no choice but to be XHTML compliant since if it's not, the XML rendering engine will spit errors and not render the page.

i just check if the browser accepts the application/xhtml+xml MIME and if it does, i send that header otherwise its just text/html but the content is actually XHTML...IE is the main problem here, it doesn't allow application/xhtml+xml

I very much doubt it, they are working on bringing it up to CSS2 standards, but not implementing much CSS3 at this stage (afaik)
