CSS v's Tables with alternative browsers...

Can CSS replace tables in browsers other than IE?

[PSWorx]

It has come to my attention that with the use of CCS level 2 alongside the appropriate use of the "<DIV>" tag can either replace or help to replace the use of tables for page layouts/formatting, in my eyes yes this is so for internet explorer but what about netscape and opera...?

Hi PSWrox,

A discussion is taking place on exactly this subject here [webmasterworld.com] in the CSS Forum.

Got it reversed. IE can't handle tabular layouts in CSS, because it only (barely) meets CSS level 1 specs. CSS2 browsers are Netscape 7 (/Mozilla 1.0) / Opera7, AFAIK. I'm not sure about Konquerer / Safari.

Wait, I might have been confused by what you mean by "replace tables" -- you can use CSS1 to get the same effect w/o using tables, if that is what you mean...the CSS2 table attributes, e.g., display: table;, display: table-cell;, &c., are what I was referring to.
