Use a margin-left on the text that is the size of the image and then
float the image to the left?
So its like
img yadda yadda width=this amount style=float:left;
div style=margin-left:this amount;content between here/div

Hi I was wondering if anyone had an example of a well laid
out style guide for a web site.
So basically a guide for someone else to get a quick

I have found problems with the colour displaying correctly in IE,
because I want the png to complement the background colour it blends

I think you need to remove the default margins on uls.
So within;
#navcontainer ul, I removed all the margins and added
margin: 50px 0 0 0;
*this basically means the same as;
margin-top: 50px
margin-right: 0
margin-bottom: 0
margin-left: 0;
That fixes the problem in ie6, but you get the 3px

Should you have classes with the same name as html tags? ie class body?
How I see it being a problem for a coder, is if you have; body { blah blah } and then
.body { blah blah } it could get confusing.
You may not need the body class, because you could assume all p tags follow the same
rules
They look at it from a purely visual point, the advantages of css for
accessibility will outweigh getting the layout right for 0.01% of the
viewing population.

should render well on older

Also I think you could combine the background and background-color rules
to just read

The image that is aligned left? Is floated left?
Maybe try using margin-left if you want

I would suggest some business orientated checks as well (most likely

- Are you meeting user goals?
- Is your content web orientated?
There would be a lot more in there I would think, but I think it should

Jpeg makes an approximation of the colours used (like in the original

So on the PC its using a different colour depth and the jpeg appears
okay but on the mac it has a more limited depth so it doesnt?
