    HTML Tables vs CSS & divs - examples/help

    Admittedly, I'm new to CSS but I am having some difficulty converting tables to CSS. Here is a CSS example for a simple 4 cell table that works fine -- but only without the DOCTYPE declaration (any DOCTYPE declaration)!

    Does anyone know what, if anything, I am doing wrong ? Any help would be appreciated.

    (Also I would like to see any successful examples anyone would like to post.)

    I found out that using CSS and DIV tags are the ideal for website design because you can make one change to a CSS file and it changes it across the entire website but it DOES NOT EFFECT YOUR SEO. Which to me was the most important part. So I have decided not to re-build my website in CSS right away but I am going to slowly construct a test site just so I can build my knowledge about DIV tags and CSS.
