What is better to use "div" or "tables"?

[hostingguru]

Many people try to use table elements and its descendants for page layout, for two reasons. The first is historical: tables have been around longer than CSS. Second, tables offer a quick way to create a grid-based page layout. The prevalence of table-based layouts leads to the main gripe some have against CSS (aside from sketchy support in certain browsers): replacing table-based layout with pure CSS is often seen as a difficult task.

If you are starting with web programming i would recommend using <div> tags and learning css. Of course, u will get a good grasp of HTML in the process.

Div is better than table.

You should use both divs and tables, but not for the same thing. You should use divs combined with css to style your website and you should only use table to display data that actually has to be in a table, unless is a html e-mail where you have to use tables, unless it's a html e-mail where you can't properly style the layout with divs.

well i think that going for table would be more beneficial as it avoids confusion n no need to do all the calculation stuffs.
