Title: 4-column layout
I've been able to find a few 4-column CSS layouts but they're all either 4x fixed divs or 4x fluid divs. Before I embark on my own voyage of discovery/pain, is there any examples that allow for a mixture of fluid and fixed divs? I've thought a bit about it and I'm
Lucian,
You could try installing your faux columns inside a containing div
rather than in the body. That way they would stretch according to the
content, and you would not have to cover them up with a footer at the
base of the browser window.

you have any of the columns position:absolute or do they all have to be floated?
(maybe you have a requirement for a footer to run right across the bottom of the
4 cols etc?). just

A good developer should have all browser installed which everone he uses as his

we should all be looking at supporting them all!
Isn't it amusing that developers using web standards have to support the
browsers. In an ideal world it would be the other way around.

Hang on there, fella. Don't be so hasty.
Looks like you may be experiencing the IE Peekaboo bug, as described (and
solved) here:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html
It's a simple fix.
i'm having some difficulty styling nested lists for use as a menu. I'd like lis in
the top-level list to display horizontally, with the nested lists displayed below
their parent. for instance

If i knew what they called the bug i could of looked it up myself :S
Sorry about that!
Im running 0.9.2 and its weird.

i cant replicate it at the moment - maybe it "fixed itself"
thanks a lot mate!

Here's a simple rule:
If it looks like a heading, table or list, then, most probably, it should be coded as
such.

Hope that helps.

It is, in my experience, best to start with the closest implementation
to the standards you can find (in this case I choose Firefox/Gecko) and
then code for the exceptional cases. If you start from an outlying
position (for example IE 5/Win) and then try to work the other way you
will find

In most cases, unless you follow security issues very closely, it's
likely you'll hear about the fix before the bug.

They sure do, like I said I do suppost firefox as long as I am on PC

Hi, I wanted to know if anyone knows how to make fonts smooth, as in the
Photoshop option using CSS.
You see I like Trebuchet MS, but sometimes when I use it on pages directly,
I hate it because it isn't smooth and I know that I have read some where of
how to make fonts smooth with CSS.
I think that if the default tab order of the page is logical you don't
need to use tabindex.

The smoothing of fonts is outside the scope of CSS - it is a Operating
System setting.
Different operating systems handle it differently - for example:
- OSX handles fonts beautifully and can make sites far easier to read.
- Linux handles fonts almost as good as OSX but not quite - but it is
