I am building a new theme for my band site.

What are the advantages by using div tags over tables for the main layout (the 3 columns) of the theme.html file?

The major thing I am worried about, when using div tags, is the compatiblity with old browsers. Half my users are not up to date with technology.

I have noticed that div tags can spill their contents when their width is compressed. For this reason I think I will use tables.

Any comments?
