Tables and Layers
Tables and Layers each have there own place and power in developing web pages. Try resizing the window and see the effect of the tables vs the layers.
Tables can easily organize data and images in relative position. If the page is resized then the items are automatically resized to fit the window.
Layers will allow you to take a layer, which may include tables, text, other layers etc., a drag it to any position on the screen. This position will not change when the screen is resized.
