Sites that present dynamic lists of anything (forums are a good example) will almost always use a table to present something, somewhere. Tables line up their rows and columns, tables are easily visually interpretable, tables can easily be populated from a database. Using a combination of HTML DIVs and SPANs and CSS to emulate a tabular layout for the data is always going to be "150% hacky. "

Question1: What do you mean by 150%hacky?
Question2: Dynamic based websites always use tables is that what you say in here? I'm a table user ever since I use DIV recently and still figuring out the ways how can I implement make my layout-designs look good in every browser!



My friends discourage me in using tables
