Is CSS better than tables?

I've heard that CSS is better than tables because it is easier for SE to crawl. Has anyone seen a significant difference between using tables and CSS?

CSS is preferable to tables in almost all respects but none of them relate to SERP's at this point.

That's pretty much my question. Why is CSS more preferable than tables?

Lighter, cleaner and more flexible. You can position different elements to spiders first.

IMO it does-if set up properly it makes for a hell of a lot less code to crawl through-thus a higher ration of content

css and tables

I use them both for example
<table class="table1" cellspacing="0">
where the table1 is
{
border: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 95%;
background: #f3f3f3;
color: #000;
}

I recommend using both unless you are a pro in css. Since you could really screw up a layout with 100% css in a crossbrowser enviroment.

SE's do like less tables and it is far easier to manipulate. But I think the above combination woks the best for me. Safe, controllable, same amount of code as div tags 100% css.

Any comments?

CSS has had my attention lately. A friend and I have been playing with new versions of my HP in all CSS. Even the NavBar, all of it. We have tested it in Firefox, Netscape and IE and only really had minor issues in Firefox. The rest went just fine.

CSS is the future of my websites. As stated above, cleaner, lighter and easier for me to read as well as for the spiders because there is less of it.

CSS creates alot more speed in setting up pages and takes away alot of headaches. Tables suck!
