Should Tables be avoided in HTML at any cost?

css, html, html-table

Solution

No - not at all. But use tables for tabular data. Just don't use them for general layouting.

But if you display tabular data, like results or maybe even a form, go ahead and use tables!

Problem

It is advisable to use tables in HTML pages (now that we have CSS)? What are the applications of tables? What features/abilities does tables have that are not in CSS? Related Questions - Tables instead of DIVs - DIV vs TABLE - DIVs vs. TABLEs a rebuttal please
