Can you please explain this or link to something that does? I mean, I've been 'floating divs' and 'clearing both' for a while because someone/some article told me that its better, but tables are so much more predictable. The only reason I ever use floating divs in practice is when I'm worried some designer friend is going to view source on my pages and laugh at all the tables.

Also, if I am expected to use floating divs all the time, can someone just link me to a floating div table generator already? :)
