[css-d] Laying Out Any Old Column

First, thank you for responding to my first question to the list so quickly. It helped to find the right page in the spec and read it. I'm running into something that keeps sending me back to tables. It's a "toolbar" layout or similar header. I'm remembering this from the last time I worked

[css-d] Full-height left column in fluid layout.

Hi, http://www.vine.org.nz/index.php/services uses a negative-margin based 2-column layout plus footerstickalt. How can I make the left-column (which is sized in ems) full height? - note that it is full height in IE6, but that has broken the footer positioning on short pages. I will have a similar

[css-d] Clearing a float

Hello. I just can't seem to wrap my head around IE and it's reasons for not letting my "clearfloat" div make my 2 columns play nice. IE is causing my "MainContent1" to be placed below the "leftcolumn1" div. Index: http://www.globalspex.com/clients/ti/index.php CSS: http://www.globalspex.com/clie

Hello Everyone, I'm getting into CSS for the first time in a long time. Laying out a WordPress template. I've found my work around, but I'm wondering if this is documented somewhere, or if you could help me understand it. I have a background image that will create a gradient border. The bac

Re: [css-d] styling

Hi Manfred. Safari behaves in a similar way to Opera. In non-IE browsers, when a border is shown it appears to be in an inset style in two colors, but looking at your code, you don't set border-style so I don't know where it inherits that from. Firefox is even worse as it doesn't seem to know w
