You shouldn’t be using tables to formulate your design. Tables should be used for tabular data, and tabular data only!
Use divs to position things properly, use divs to hold your content. There is no definitely no problem using a table to evenly display data, but there is a problem (poor design) using tables to use as your complete site layout.
