What according to you is more better and easy, code using div layouts or tables layouts for designing. Please share your opinion...

Tables are easier upfront but once you know how to use divs they become easier. Tables are not for page schematics, they are for table data. I'd fire a coder the second I realized he was using tables for page layouts.

DIV tags are easier than the Table tags.Table row and column tags are very confusing.For each row and column you need to give separate tags.Its also lengthy and takes more space.So, loading time is also more.DIV tags are better to use for the Web site design purpose.

divs are search engine friendly.. so my choice is to use divs unless there is a urgency to use tables...

I'm not a good coder, but when it comes to code something, I always do that with divs, it's easier for me and as someone said - SEO friendly

Tables (unless used for data) are becoming more and more of an older form of page layout. Go with the divs. They are the more accepted and provide many more options...

I know that tabs are old things, but for me it is easier and faster to arrange web-site layout. Especially if you are a novice in web-design, so it will be a bit hard to code using Divs...

I like Tables, also you can easily find the problem in the table and without looking what Div tag wasn't closed...
