Here a re five solid reasons why why tables should not be used in building web pages
1. Most of the time, the use of tables in web layouts may cause inconvenience and inconsistency in the flow of the content mainly strive to bad accessibility and disrupts the visual uniformity of a web portal.
2. Unnecessarily increase size of files by mixing content with the data of presentation.
3. Tables tend to slow down the loading speed of the web content.
4. Tables are not accepted by search engines and so considered highly non-SEO friendly. This is the reason why search engines like Google is highly compatible with as well as CSS web layouts and use of tables simply make difficult for major browsers to optimize the web pages easily.
5. Table based web layouts exploits creativity of web programmers.
Now-a-days, the tableless HTML/XHTML/CSS web layouts are considered best option to create website in comparison to the standard page layout along with tables. The HTML/XHTML/CSS based tableless designs help in improving page ranking on search engines by simply reducing code to conduct ratio.

Richard, learning is all about asking questions. Doesn't matter whether it sounds stupid or wise as far as you get to know what you want to know. Remember, never ever stop asking questions because we are all still learning.

I have realize that student who are used to dreamweaver finds it difficult to switch to tabless web layout. As you rightly said, it takes away your creativity and increase the amount of code you have to write. It even get bad when server code is mix with the tables layout.
But inspite these side effect, student are still made to use dreamwaever. thanks
