Subject: Re: [WSG] 2 Column Symetrical Stretching Layout?
Hi Drew,
I removed the 45% margin from #right but this still never worked:
This is what i did:
*
Before:* #right{width:45%; background-color:#00FF00; padding:0; margin:0 0 0
45%;}
*After:* #right{width:45%; background-color:#00FF00; padding:0; margin:0;}
Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? I dont want to resort to
tables to get a 50% 50% 2 column stretching layout.
Im a novice with CSS/XHTML, but i feel im picking it up fast, but this
simple layout i cant seem to do.
Cheers,
Josef

That's what happens when you rush an answer on Friday as you head out the
door and don't read the list on weekends. This code produces a red and a
green box which are side by each and have your 50px margin. What I did is
eliminate the width on main and make both boxes float. Rule of thumb: if you
have a width you need a float.
