Why don't you just use the table tags? They are not deprecated.

What the W3C wants you to do is to stop using tables to do the jobs of margins, borders, and padding.

<html>
	<head><title>Tables with CSS</title>

<!-- Used to create the outer borders of the table and setting the size -->
<style type="text/css"> #outer_table {border: solid red; width: 60px; height:60px;} </style>

<!-- Used to highlight the low border of the first div to create the illustion of a table row -->
<style type="text/css"> #first_row {border-bottom: solid blue; height:50%;} </style>
       </head>
	<body>
		<div id="outer_table">
			<div id="first_row">
			</div>
			<div id="second_row">
			</div>
	</body>
