    I guess the question now is what exactly @begetolo is using this for.

    If it’s for layout (say something like columns in the footer), and the site is responsive, display: table; would be the clear victor because of the lack of true control over table cells.

    If however he is making a static width side and is using this to display content on a page instead of to assemble the layout of said page, I stand by using a table instead of a div with display: table;. It’s truly what the table was designed for.

    Thanks for the input @chriscoyier!

    To clarify where I want to use it, take a look at this site: http://www.rbk.nl. This site is in development and there still many little things to do. Have look and please do give advice and/or tips…

    The last image on the page is ‘The One’.
    Now it is just one big image. I have to make the individual (square) pieces click-able and therefore have to break the big image in smaller pieces. The ‘+’ and the ‘=’ could then be just plain text with a color and vertical centered. I need to keep the site responsive.

    Perhaps one of you have another solution or idea how to approach this? For now i’m leaning towards jQuery, but just plain CSS would be better i think. I tried the ‘table’ option, but this breaks in IE8. (there are very much problems with tables in IE8, especially where TD width is concerned).
    I haven’t tried display:table yet.

    Thanks very much for your time.

    Welp, traditional tables are certainly out of the question here. I think display: table; will be best as the site is going to be responsive… more freedom as the display gets smaller.

    Let us know if you need any help implementing that method!

    …and there you have it. No table settings required at all.

    If only we’d had the link to start with. :)
