CSS is for design, table is for data. Period.

Designing in CSS is always the right choice, it is a lot easier to change the layout then.
Imagine CSSZenGarden designs would use tables... what a mess.

I think table

Using a table you can create cells and is easier to read them on the code. I also agree with kids, table cannot replace list and list cannot replace table.

Tables and list a 2 totally different entities.
As already mentioned by other members, the purpose of table is to display a grid a data within table cells aligned in rows and columns.
In the early day of web design, people saw the opportunity to create a visual layout for web page and therefore it became a way of creating web sites. That was not however what a table is for, it was used that way for lack of a better alternative then until CSS came along.

A list on the other hand is use to group a set of related text items adding a visual element to each either with bullets, square, numbers or other fancy graphics.

In a way a list allows you to present data but not in a tabular way.

Tables are good only for displaying tabular data. If you want to create your design you'd better not use tables because it is harder to manipulate with.

For layouts I use div only designs for some years now. If it's "tabular" data, then the tables are the way to go, no questions asked.

I think, table and list both have high influence regarding web design. They both are suitable depending what type of data do you want to represent. So think about what should make it more presentable than other and use that one. thanks

tables data defined as tabular form. lists like just type of data using bulletent.
what u think of about html 5. i think its better than other version of html

Tables are for tabular data.

I was looking the other day at an article by a guy wanting to make multi column lists....... poor soul! He did it, yes, but its not good code.

List is better than table

when presenting a set of related key-value attributes, what would be more appropriate from a semantic point of vie a table, a definition list or something else? In the case of Maximillian, the data he want to present was a kind of information cards for books. The implementation using definition lists would be something like this

Same thing it is in the rest of the Universe. In terms of logical data, a dimension is a unit of taxonomy, or classification.

1. A list has 0 orders of taxonomy (each item is of the same general classification, but with different values), This is 1-dimensional data.
   
   
2. A table has 1 order of taxonomy (rows represent taxonomy, columns represent values). This is 2-dimensional data.
   
   
3. A grouped table has 2 orders of taxonomy (groups & rows, and columns are values). This is 3-dimensional data.

I am always use the table..... because this is two dimensional data...
