I've just recently started re-designing my company's site to use more CSS-driven coding. The home page is essentially entirely CSS with the exception of a table closer to the bottom of the page (had a bit of trouble getting everything to align properly, so I used a table).
Anyway, when I google my company, the abstract that follows the link is basically from the first <td> of that table. Does Google go to table tags immediately? Does it read table tags first then divs etc? Does anyone have any idea on how to get it to read my top content first, short of getting rid of the table, or adding a table at the top?
Any ideas would be great..

Google reads the HTML from top to bottom.
However, what Google puts in the snippet is the most appropriate piece of text it can find on the page for the keyword(s) you've chosen, not necessarily the first piece...
Why not Google for that keyword(s), and then look at Google's cache - you'll see what Google found matching... That may be enough of a clue about how to tempt it to "snippetise" something of your choosing...
