Re: [WSG] Margins and floats

 Ended up, because content comes first, making the margin for the right side
 menu 67% left.
 #content {float: left; width:65%;
   margin-right: 15px;
 }
  #links {padding-right:10px; margin-left: 67%}

 This seemd odd to me but it works...any comments, is this ok?


this is because 65% width + 15px margin is greater than 65%. So the
margin-left on the #links has to be greater than 65% + 15px, and 67%
seems to be enough.

 Why not use % all the way (e.g on the padding)?  That way you
 won't have to worry about whether 15px is more, or less, than 2%

My initial post was the fact that I never thought of using a LEFT margin
from the menu for the main content. Maybe I was tired, but hadn't thought of
this, being so used to leaving a right margin for the menu when it was on
the right. So I spent over two hours trying to make the menu stay put
without success in both ie and firefox.

The menu left worked, surprised me, lol, but seemed strange to allow space
on the leftlearning here
Thanks all!!

[WSG] Margins and floats

[Bruce]

Hi all,

I have been trying to fix a simple 2 col layout for a client. Maybe I'm
tired but couldn't get it to resize in both ie and firefox without float
drop, menu is left side. Nothing worked including right margins.

Ended up, because content comes first, making the margin for the right side
menu 67% left.
#content {float: left; width:65%;
  margin-right: 15px;
}
 #links {padding-right:10px; margin-left: 67%}

This seemd odd to me but it works...any comments, is this ok?

Thanks
