Mark,
 
One of the leading css proponents, Jeffrey Zelman, says that it's OK to do forms in tables. In a way it is tabular data that you are laying out. The nice thing is the combination of tables and CSS. i.e. set up a basic table, give it an id, create your form and style it using a style sheet.
 
Chad, CSS is great and once you grok it you won't go back, but don't listen to those nazis who say that all tables are evil. If it makes life easy and doesn't bloat the code too much, do whatever.

Subject: [cfaussie] Re: OT: [best practice or your practice] CSS vs. Tables

It took me a while to get my head around xhtml / CSS based designs - but now that I have, I don't think I could go back to designing sites with tables - it just feels wrong.

I definatley like the idea of removing display information from document markup - it makes alot of sense for me.

The only place I get a little frustrated is in doing forms - as doing XHTML forms I find to be a bit of a pain in the rear due to cross browser issues.  Sometimes I just want to use a table when doing forms.

But I say just in and try it out!

Yeah, I've read all the schpeels on how doing a site in Layers is so
much better than Tables.

Do you guys deal strictly in layers,or lay out in tables?  And how
does the mantra of "Tables Are Bad / Layers Are Cool" fit into the
world of web application development?

Cheers,
