I had never heard of AP Div tags, so I looked them up and they are something used in Dreamweaver, which I have never used. Personally, I don't use any web page creation software that doesn't conform strictly to HTML/CSS standards. I use a code editor (currently, I use PSPad), but I write every bit of the syntax myself. More complex software can improve productivity, as well as help someone who doesn't understand HTML and CSS create a web page, but to me, it greatly complicates the process, as it hides some of the true syntax and can cause problems when pages are viewed in different browsers.

There is a lot of controversy over using tables to position content on a page. I spent many years using tables for this purpose (everyone did), but there are several reasons that some people feel are important, for using tables only to display "tabular" content, that is, elements that are naturally organized into rows and columns. So I try to use <div>s for positioning now. Sometimes it is more difficult to do with <div>s, and I admit that sometimes I revert to using a table. One thing to avoid, for sure, is tables nested within other tables, several layers deep. Because the browser has to do a lot more work, planning the widths of columns, for example, if you nest tables, your page may load slower, in some cases much slower.
