Hi,
I am trying to incorporate as much CSS as possible into my web-site design
for a Blogger blog - see http://temptrialling.blogspot.com - and have been
working on a three column layout that utilises the full width of the page.
My belief, perhaps mistaken, is that using percentages, padding, and float
means that the page is visible as I intend it to look in all browsers,
irrespective of screen size. I have tried it in IE6, Opera, and Firefox
(all latest versions), using the following coding and it seems to work:
#left {
padding-left: 1.5%;
float: left;
width: 22%;
}
#middle {
float: left;
width: 50%;
text-align:left;
padding-right: 1.5%;
padding-left: 1.5%;
border-right: thin solid #C0C0C0;
border-left: thin solid #C0C0C0;
}
#right {
float: left;
width: 20%;
padding-left: 1.5%;
text-align: left;
}
My question is whether percentages are the best route to follow as fixed
widths seem to be more commonly used on many sites. Please can you advise
on what are the advantages and disadvantages of using percentages as opposed
to fixed? Comments welcome.
