tables
- more compatible with old browsers
- cumbersome
divs
- very flexible
- divs can be moved around the page using the css --> perhaps StylistPackage could allow positioning of divs (probably best illustrated at css Zen Garden)
- future proof
- with CSS3 on the horizon, i think we should make an effort to move to divs.
- older browsers have difficulties displaying a div layout
- virtually 'impossible' to create a pixelperfect layout that expands over 100% of the displayed area - let's be honest: who really needs that. most sitest that look really good, are constrained to a certain width anyway (IMHO). if you instist on that kind of layout, i suppose you could use your own tiki.tpl file that uses a table as layout.
