Subject: [WSG] Need some CSS help

Hello WSG,

The CSS validates: http://www.zenfulcreations.com/client-files/do/pa/pa.css


PROBLEMS:

1. I need the design to look like the mockup, except it must be fluid, not
fixed (as the mockup looks). I think I have gotten that, but when sized down
the right mid content drops.
2. I have clear: both used many times in the right content area to make the
footer rest at the bottom. I can't figure out why I just can't get it down
there without that.
3. IE is munching the "headings" for the boxes (especially the news box and
it is fried in FF too - however it is coded the same as all the others that
DO work) and I have changed, tweaked and tested new things to make them work
right, and am at a loss.
4. The Top Rated Games box, I have had to put a absolute height in - I did
not have that there earlier on in the coding process and it worked -- I
changed something and now it does not, so when the window is resized, the
buttons fall out of the div.


******************************************************
First look:

1. 3 column setup with header and footer. Two outside columns
position:absolute, fixed width. Center column has a flexible banner and top
text with two columns under. The left sub column is fixed width. The right
flexible. In other words, most of the central column stretches.

The right sub column drops because something has to give. That is, the fixed
width columns can't compress only that right column can. That's why at
higher resolutions only the middle column header and right sub column
stretch. Semi-flexible design.

2. Cleared out all the extra clear:both before the footer. No problem in
either FF or IE6. 

3. Don't see any munching. The images look the same on the page and in the
file.

4. Took out the height on top rated and nothing happened up to 1600 on the
resolution. Things only looked bad when the screen couldn't handle the fixed
widhs.

So, it looks ok in terms of what you've done. And as you say it validates.
