Joseph, Also google for "css columns." That will help you get a foundational understanding of how css does layouts. I try to shy away from absolute positioning as much as I can.
Check out: http://www.simplebits.com He has some wonderful CSS designs and tutorials (although many are advanced). Here is the exact link to his CSS section: http://www.simplebits.com/notebook/css/index.html Purchase TopStyle3 Pro. I cannot say enough about how this program has helped me. It will give you instruction on what certain CSS elements are and help you keep syntactically correct. Take a lot of code apart. This is my best way of learning. I'm like the apprentice brain surgeon: I touch a brain lobe and then see what part of the body twitched! :) Hope that helped, Will Professional Graphics Artist Certified Web Designer (BCIP) Stewart and Company -- www.stewartandcompany.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- W: 304.550.2687 Rt. 1 Box 364 Buffalo, WV 25033 -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 13, 2004 7:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [wdvltalk] CSS boxes etc With Cascade DTP I have just been experimenting with absolute positioning. My impression is that this forces a very rigid approach to design and layout. And I have not felt there is comfortable surfing with the floats I have viewed. If I am missing the point how, with the latest css (oft-praised on wdvl talk), can I achieve the flow and adaptability of tables - which I find a much more comfortable viewing experience? Intertwined in this, I suppose, is the question: just because it can be done, should it? I hope this is a sensible question; I have my dunce's cap ready if not.
