Since layers are becoming the more widely accepted method of site
layout, I have a quesiton..

If you had some data that you wanted to display in this format:

DATA1 DATA2
DATA3 DATA4

Would each data be it's own DIV?

But if we used DIV also for the data when should we still use tables?
Should we abolish them?

That depends on what the data *is*. HTML is designed to describe semantics
and structure, not layout. Its impossible to say what markup should be
until you know what semantics and structure you are trying to describe.

That statement is not true at all.

That's what a table is for.

Layers have been obsolete for years.

They'd probably be in a <table> and each its own <td> If your "data"
has any reasonable claim to be "tabular", then just use the <table>

With neither quill nor qualm, quothed:

That almost entirely depends on the data. At a guess, I'd say no, but
anything else on the page has an influence to the optimal layout, too.

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.

Fine.
So, do you think that the table on the page
https://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/index.php
is appropriate or not?
The column on the left displays pictures and the one on the right displays a
text which is connected with these pictures.

No, that is content layout that should be added with CSS and div's.

This is data, what tables are for:

/-----------------------------------------\
| | Average | Red |
| |-------------------| eyes |
| | height | weight | |
|-----------------------------------------|
| Males | 1.9 | 0.003 | 40% |
|-----------------------------------------|
| Females | 1.7 | 0.002 | 43% |
\-----------------------------------------/

Also this is data, suitable for a table:

TABELL S V O F +/- P
1. Syrianska IF 13 11 2 0 68 - 14 35
2. SS Gbg Jun 15 9 4 2 53 - 18 31
3. GIF Enosis 14 6 4 4 33 - 29 22
4. FC K-Pero 14 6 1 7 29 - 38 19
5. Skogshyddan 15 6 1 8 24 - 44 19
6. Real Maskin 13 4 4 5 24 - 35 16
7. BK Wobbler 14 4 2 8 16 - 38 14
8. Olskrokens 15 3 4 8 29 - 46 13
9. Käringöns FC 15 2 4 9 27 - 41 10

I think that this is the biggest question of all the ones which we have
discussed today.
The examples which you gave display data, no doubt about that.
But, as far as I remember, there had been someone else in this NG thinking
that even descriptions of photos are data.
Other contributions to this matter will be appreciated.
By the way, I changed from frames into tables into DIV and CSS..

They can be:

<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col">Image</th>
<th scope="col">Caption</th>
</tr>
</thead>

*Generally* speaking, if you have at least two columns and can put a
(sensible) heading on all of them, then its tabular data.
