No apparent IQ problems at your end ;-)
(must be the keyboard's fault...)
Call me a slow starter... :-) ...as I've been handling bits and bytes
and code since before they launched the first microprocessor. Haven't
spent all that many years in web development though, so I'm still just a
beginner in this field. It shows...
FWIW: I started off by dissecting the W3C site and picked out the parts
I needed. Took a while, but it gave me a pretty stable platform for
further investigations. You may be surprised to see how much chaos one
can create with pure standards. It'll even work at times ;-)
"Taking your time" is good advice for me. I'm trying to do several
things at once while I'm on the net and I tend to think
"OMG-if-this-cc-isn't-right-Google-won't-index-me!". Google, of
course, couldn't care less.
I've never marked up anything for Google. I launch something for humans
at times, and some humans may occasionally pick up a piece of mine or
something I've worked on through Google or otherwise. That'll have to do.
If Google-indexing is of major concern to you, then read the following...
<http://www.google.com/webmasters/seo.html>
...and then forget Google ever existed and keep your work close to W3C
standards. That'll usually work out just fine with regards to Google and
other search engines.
Visitors may also be quite happy with it if you give them something they
are interested in, and present it well. That's the hard part - they say ;-)
although it does appear obvious, I would just like to make sure that
deleting div#sideBar{width:100%;} and then adding
div#sideBar{display: table;zoom:1;} will be ok?
Yes. Delete the width, and add the other stuff. Sidebar will then
self-adjust in width and form a "block". You may put a temporary border
around it so you can see how it behaves and lines up alongside the float.
