Is my understanding DIVs should be used instead of TABLEs to layout data
Is this correct and if so, where can I find a good resource to know how to do it , because, all the pages I've seen uses absolute position and things like that. Is this the correct way to go?
EDIT
So my question is , how to put two elements side by side, how one on top of other etc. Is it using absolute position?
For instance this page uses very little table and layout everything in using DIV.
Is this correct
Not quite. You should use the elements that best describe the semantics of the data, then use CSS to lay them out.
where can I find a good resource to know how to do it

Here is a good article about the subject

Yes, DIVs have been used for some years now. You should also checkout the new layout tags in HTML5 such as <nav> , <section> etc..
Look at this blog post for some interesting comparison of DIV vs tables.
