Is it bad design to use table tags when displaying forms in html?

by

Yes, it does apply for form layouts. Keep in mind that there are also tags like FIELDSET and LABEL which exist specifically for adding structure to a form, so it’s not really a question of just using DIV. You should be able to markup a form with pretty minimal HTML, and let CSS do the rest of the work. E.g.:

<fieldset>
    <div>
         <label for="nameTextBox">Name:</label>
         <input id="nameTextBox" type="text" />
    </div>
    ...
</fieldset>
