Don't use a DIV when a table will do the job. Tables will resize and nest a lot nicer than DIV's and are always cross browser. The only reason to use a DIV instead is if you want it to be resizable, drag and drop, scrollable etc.

Bearing in mind that this could start a war... What are people's opinions on using <div>s + CSS for layout over <table>s? I am thinking specifically for new sites (not re-designing old sites etc). <div>s... Pros: CSS is for design and styling and <div>'s can be controlled by CSS Cons: <table>s are simple and widely used and effective. <div>s can be complicated to implement cross-browser (because MS can't produce a standards compliant browser unless they make their own standards). Thoughts?
