I was using percentages, but it didn’t feel right when I found myself tweaking to find that magic number that extended my block element to full width and didn’t blow up the overall composition.
I know, it’s all about KNOWING what you are doing. This guessing approach (maybe if I use 63% here and 798px there, that will work?)
I went to Barnes & Nobel last night and looked over (read half of) all their books on CSS and came home with
Cascading Style Sheets --Separating Content From Presentation— Owen Briggs, Steven Champeon, Eric Costello, and Matt Patterson
I like it a lot so far. Seems to have a developer’s feel vs. being and academic reference text. With some excellent case studies of REAL websites and how they coded them (vs. an abstract 2-column layout all by itself.)
Thanks,
Dan

I need a CSS text. I am getting extremely frustrated trying to configure the Layout and Style sheets for a new Plum project. I have what I consider to be a relatively simple layout schematic but cannot get it to work in the Plum framework. This is not a Plum problem per se, it's mostly I don't understand CSS-P well enough to just do it. I'm experimenting here and guessing there between header.cfm, footer.cfm, basestyles.css and it sorta looks okay until I maximize the browser, or size down the browser, and it blows up.
Can anyone point me to a book I can go out and buy NOW that will help me get this "simple" layout understood and done.
Thanks,
Dan Kaufman
