Re: Div vs Table Layouts - Your opinion

By using semantic markup (i.e. using tags for what they were designed for) the size of files is much smaller, so the site could be much faster by using divs that tables.

But one better than using divs for layouts is to use proper tags, e.g. paragraphs and stuff. A div is to divide up a page into different segments, not to use as basically a table cell; that defeats the purpose of css, and is just as bad as table layout.
