I want to make a 'table' using CSS and DIVS (although I'm strugling to think of reasons not to use a table).

It will be used to display results returned from a query of a database.

Cell1 | Cell2 | Cell3 | Cell4
Cell1 | Cell2 | Cell3 | Cell4
Cell1 | Cell2 | Cell3 | Cell4
Cell1 | Cell2 | Cell3 | Cell4

How would you create that using DIVS?

<div row>
<div col>
Cell1
</div>
<div col>
Cell2
</div>
<div col>
Cell3
</div>
<div col>
Cell4
</div>
</div>

Or something else?

Just use a table. There's nothing wrong with using tables for data, that's what they are for.

Yeah, thought so!

Thanks

Using Div Tag:

<div row>
<div col>
Cell1 using divs
</div>

Using Table Tag:

<table>
<tr>
<td> Cell11 using table </td>
</tr>
</table>

Guess it's just a matter of preference, most will probably use divs, but tables have been around longer...It's not about whats easier/harder, it's about what will work and don't work...These both work, so take your pick.

Hth

Tables were MEANT for data, so there's absolutely no reason to NOT use a table in this instance. It's no about what's been around longer or easier/harder - it's about PURPOSE and semantic markup.
