you will need to be more specific about what you mean by "support"
a good article?

also, what constitutes the "best" method is totally subjective
best for site visitors? write html specifically for their browsers
nothing wrong with html tables for version 4 browsers
but before you scream that this is a ridiculous strategy for you, consider
that this is a fantastic strategy for your version 4 browser visitors
am i suggesting that you write code for each browser?
on the contrary
best for you? write the simplest code possible
faster to develop, easier to maintain...
use css, with absolutely minimal presentational markup
tables used for layout are presentational, so they're ruled out
and beware of the div, for it is a gateway tag
say, isn't that the evil Classitis over there?
made you look
;o)
