Does using layers instead of using tables cause problems for SEO ??

I just started another new site and trying layers

I use Dreamweaver

By layers, do you mean divs? I'm yet to see any concrete evidence on this, but the general consensus is that, if anything, using divs instead of tables is a good idea. The main reason is code bloat - tables use a lot more HTML code than divs and divs encourage CSS styling - something which is actively encouraged.

My own experiments, however, haven't shown any major differences in rankings.
