No tables for a perfect CSS skin for your page... or not?

"How [sic] I said, in similar situations, I work with tables but oneslty [sic] if I can find an "elegant" alternative to design page elements "table-like" (for example a form with labels and input fields) using CSS instead of tag I prefer using only CSS. I think the code is more clean and more flexible."

If your goal is to create something that is "table-like", just use a table. Designing it in CSS is not more clean and far from more flexible. In addition to this, you risk having somebody not see your site as you intended because of browser differences.

You're designing a table in CSS because you think it's cool. You're wrong. It's stupid. The table-less design fanboys have infected you.

Senfo I am totally with you. I always cringe when people try to get me to use divs instead of tables. Tables work the same in every browser, divs require all sorts of crazy IE voodoo and even still they won't work properly. I love standards, but CSS obviously isn't a standard if it works differently in every browser.
