Hmmm, I'm a little confused about exactly what you're trying to do here Zaberfang, are you trying to make a table using CSS or change the formatting of a table using CSS?
The first isn't possible, but the second is. CSS is purely for formatting markup (i.e. HTML), it's not like JavaScript where you can script tables on the fly (not that I'd recommend anyone does this - it's horribly slow )
Why would you need to use divs to "make" a table?? Tables are tables, divs are divs. No reason to turn a table into divs Unless, of course, it was never supposed to be a table in the first place but then why would you need the CSS to define it as table elements?
There are some neat things you can do with tables using CSS:

Sure, just add a class name to your table, like this:
<table class="table1">...
</table>
Then, in your CSS file, do the following:
.table1 {(attributes)
}
Just like you would any other tag.

Or, if you're talking about making a table with just CSS and DIVs, you can do this:
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell 1</div>
<div class="cell">Cell 2</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell 1</div>
<div class="cell">Cell 2</div>
</div>
And the CSS:
.row {display:table-row;
}
.cell {
display:table-cell;
}
Not too sure if I got the CSS right, and if I did, it doesn't work in IE - as expected, it will work in Firefox though, and possibly Opera too.
