HTML/CSS question

Frames, tables, CSS positioning, all can be used for placing elements where you want them. I know that tables are very old-school for this, and I'm under the impression that CSS is the current vogue, but frames seem more intuitive to me for positioning. Why the move to CSS? Or is there another new method coming?

CSS provides flexibility and reusability. If you use stylesheets, it's easy to make global changes on multiple pages by just changing the style sheet. Frames are more intuitive, true, but if you're using more complicated setups, you can have all kinds of different things you can do with stylesheets that just aren't easily accomplished with frames.

I know a bit about CSS for styles, but not much about using it for positioning. I'll check out the website this evening! Thanks!
