Yet Another Divs vs Tables issue: Forms

Question

[Meta-note:] I was browsing the question page, getting really tired of \"DIVS vs Tables\" \"When to use tables vs DIVS\" \"Are Divs better than Tables\" \"Tables versus CSS\

Answer 1

The trick is when the form gets more complicated than your sample, you realize that tables enable a "flexible grid" that no other elements do.

e.g. what if the "input" is more complicated than a text box? e.g. a bunch of radio buttons, each with their own label:

Color: [____Red___][v]
 Hood: [*] 
 Size: (_) Small
       (_) Medium
       (_) Large
       (*) X-Large

If all you need are simple forms, CSS is great, but as soon as you need a grid, things get interesting...

If you really want to do this, I would check out The Man In Blue's Solution, it works pretty well and is very clean.
