Hi, original author of that layout here. The layout in question is located at: http://webhost.bridgew.edu/etribou/layouts/2col_colors/beta/index.html
This is a very old layout, when I was experimenting with means to create a float-based layout that allowed for separate background colors for the columns. This layout is marked deprecated on the site because I haven't touched it in several years and have since found a better method. Your best bet Stephane is to look at Skidoo Too, http://webhost.bridgew.edu/etribou/layouts/skidoo_too/index.html, which is more up to date. I'm working on a much newer version of that layout with better documentation on the CSS hacks that are used and takes IE7 into consideration. The HTML/CSS are ready, the documentation is not, but if you're up for it you can find it at http://webhost.bridgew.edu/etribou/layouts/skidoo_redux/. For completeness sake, the IE condition statement used in that old layout was a workaround to hack in support for fixed-positioning, which IE (pre 7) didn't support. The idea that the background is a color mask fixed to the page and the content scrolls on top. I thought it was a novel approach, but was much too complicated. -- Eric Tribou "The Forgettable Mister Ruthsarian" > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Stephane Bortzmeyer > Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 3:09 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [css-d] Complex layout works on MSIE 5 & 6 but not 7 > > The Web site is http://www.bortzmeyer.org/.
