Hi guys,
I was just wondering what the general consensus of opinion is when it comes to using tables for laying out form elements?

Simple: Don’t.
There’s a great article on using CSS (no tables) for forms here: Fancy form design (Sitepoint) and some good general tips on creating forms at [url=http://www.webstandards.org/learn/tutorials/accessible-forms/]Accessible forms (Web Standards)
Meanwhile here on the forums, we’ve had several debates about it

C. Ankerstjerne has given you a good answer. If you want to read the pros and cons, the whys and wherefores, those threads have got them all in, particularly the first one, so please have a read of them. We don’t need to repeat those debates, so I’m closing this thread. If you’ve got any specific questions or new issues that aren’t answered in any of those previous discussions, please start a new thread.
