div vs. table which is better and why?

Answer 1

They're completely different. Table has one function: to contain tabular data. Should not be used for layout.

Answer 2

You should use div containers to structure your website. It's easier to style div containers. Webdesigner used tables to create a website in past.

Answer 3

HTML5 introduced many new tags that should be used where you'de "normally" use divs. <div> has no semantic meaning, whereas <header>, <nav>, <section>, <article>, <footer> both act as containers and describe content better.
