Can you have tables in a form?

You can have an entire table inside a form. You can have a form inside a table cell. You cannot have part of a table inside a form. Use one form around the entire table.

Why are people so hell-bent on avoiding tables?

Tables are not deprecated and should be used when displaying content which logically belongs in a table.

If your form is logically grouped such that a table would be intuitive, please use a table.

Always be thinking: "What's the cleanest, simplest, most maintainable way to achieve this result."

If you want a fluid form with a variable number columns, then disregard this.
