Just starting a new site and am considering which way to go on this issue. css seems to give good control, but I have read that tables offer greater compatibility with older browsers. Also, when it comes to vertical centering, the css code is far more complex than with tables, and is also less reliable. I had a look at a simple google search page and noticed tables are used quite extensively there. Perhaps the way to go is a table based layout and then use css to manage the finer points of the design?
 
This posting should be in the html forum..sorry
