@Chris: > Generic solutions are most of the time bloated. I know, and I'm hoping to make mine as not-bloated as possible while understanding full well I might not be able to do it.

Thank you. @Dave: > It's not quite what you are looking for but you could use it as a > start or you could make yer own from the idea. I'm trying to find examples of any other site or any examples that keep the same source order and html but are still able to move things around like the (pretty ugly) example pictures I created. I will definitely dig into your version of skidoo, and thanks for posting the link for me. :) @C Montoya: > This is totally possible, using a combination of floats and absolute > position for the various divs. Unfortunately I'm still new enough to CSS that I don't grasp all the subtle "how it *really* works" that many of you seem to intuitively know. Everything I've learned about CSS says I should be able to do this. Where I falter is "how". > You could even do it without any wrapper divs, just the five divs in > the pictures. That's exactly what I'm trying to do, because extra wrappers constrain any other layout the company might want. On the other hand, they make one layout much nicer and easier to style. Which is better? :-/ Give our companies one really nice layout that they're stuck with, or try to give as much customization as possible with their own web team? @Thierry: > If you go for fluid layouts with all widths in "%" I think you could > make it work with the elements flowing the way you have them. Percents as layout might be a problem, since no matter what I do, ASP.NET will be spitting out tables at me, and I don't know how they will react if the columns are resized too small while the font size stays the same. That being said, maybe I can fudge some min-width in IE to take care of it. > As a side note, I would not go with a solution that relies on > "position:absolute" To be honest, I don't even know how. I'm getting better at floats, but absolutes escape me. @CSS-D Ok then, I'm off to start my Monday with some renewed hope, some examples, and maybe I'll even find inspiration along the way. Thank you very much for your replies. :) If a new thought strikes anyone, I'm (as always) open ears. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
