A modern alternative to html/CSS tables?

Question

I vaguely remember reading about some new (CSS3?) type of tables. The problem mentioned at the time was that it wasn't widely supported. Is there anything like that? Is it support better today? Sorry I can't be more specific, I don't remember its name.

The bottom line is that I'm trying to get div's to be equally sized horizontally next to each other, but when I do that using display: table (and display: table-cell in the li's) - they ignore things (like overflow: hidden ).

As posted in a comment above - CSS flexible boxes is it.
