Dear Omri: You can check out the W3C specs for the <table> tag to get the official explanation (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html). It is my experience that tables are only for data (collections of statistics, etc), whereas anything you are putting in a table simply for layout is a no-no (unless you are transitioning and using CSS only for styles, layout is a lot more difficult). You can put a calendar in a table since it is tabular data, but you do have to label it correctly. The major concern of tables is they are difficult for people with handicaps to read and the information is lost. If you can avoid a table with a cleaner method, I recommend doing so. If you are uncertain if it will cause problems, try reading your page on a cell phone or on a computer with JAWS. If you can't follow what is going on, your users won't either. ;-)
