RE: [WSG] back again but with no tables

[Hill, Tim]

Title: Message

The floating item in the html appears below the thing you want to float over:

you need to move the #sidecolumn above #maincolumn in the html.

I think russ has something that explains it better, as always =)

 

Also in #wrapper reset text-align:left;

this should stop it centering the middle column

 

#wrapper {

    text-align: left;

}

(just add it on to the other stuff)

 

also in the #sidecolumn, you have a <ul> but you have to remove the default margins/padding otherwise it pushes the box too big.

try #sidecolumn ul {

    margin: 0;

    padding: 0;

}

 

And one last thing, you forgot the starting { on the html>#maincolumn /* be nice to opera */

so put that on, and it should be sweet

 

hope that works out.

Subject: [WSG] back again but with no tables

Hi

Back with this site and I've removed those pesky tables and added the right Doctype so perhaps I can impose on someone to explain why I can't get this layout to work! I think I've done all the right things but the right hand column refuses to float comfortably beside the left one. They are both within a container div.
