How do you go about building a full CSS layout? Is there an overall method
that can be used for any layout?

Mark, That is an excellent example!
I'd use ID whenever the item is unique on a page - as it would have to be
here. ID's have more specificity than classes and that may be needed at some
point when/if there is a conflict.

Yes, this is correct behaviour. The background of your comments div should

Hey Taco
Have you thought about using a class on the body tag to identify that

useful in solving similar problems.

Hmm, it's a global include so if I'd tweak it for one page then it would be
tweaked for all, which is not what I want..
I guess the only way around it will be to remove the border and background.
It's normal behavior you say, is it also correct behavior? i.e. is it

Taco,
While text will stop at the edge of a floated item, borders and background
colours will extend under a floated item - this is normal float behaviour.

How about setting the ul to 100% and the li to 90%.. so you are setting
li's to 90% of the ul..
Possibly could do this as well...
ul li
{
font-size : 90%;
}

Hi Taco,
There are two issues here.
1. The html sample is invalid as the nested list must be inside an li
element, not between them.
Blah
2. a simple rule will fix this, as it is simply applying the percentage size
to nested elements:
li { font-size: 90%; }
li li { font-siz
ul ul { font-size: 100%; }
so everytime you hit a nested you reset your size to 100%.
Cheers
