    IE workaround for floats and borders

    Does anyone know how to work around the differences in IE and FF/Netscape when it comes to floats and borders? I've got a DIV that is centered in the screen; within that DIV I have two DIVs that need to be aligned to the right and left. The left div needs to start at 205px relative to the parent...

    Fixed-width DIV centred over 100% width DIV

    Pushing the footer to the bottom wasn't necessary for me. I have seen it done with CSS, though: check out http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/3colfixedtest_sourcenone.htm for an example.

    Fixed-width DIV centred over 100% width DIV

    Thanks Chris - that's exactly the kind of thing I was after. I'm still working at moving to DIV layouts versus table layouts, and although I see the obvious benefits of them, they are proving a little tricky to adapt to at first (especially differing between absolute and relative positioning). I...

    Fixed-width DIV centred over 100% width DIV

    I've been conditioned against using framesets... either in hearing of the "inherent evils" of frames, or the "apparent absolute truth" of css. I'd like to try to do it with CSS - doesn't using framesets cause trouble with browsers / bookmarking. I'm not really sure. Its not a matter I know much...

    Fixed-width DIV centred over 100% width DIV

    I'm using IE6 - the code I put there is a simplification of an actual site that I'm working on. But, it's a mess, I agree. See this page for a better view of what I'm trying to do. My attempt is for each container div to stretch across the screen but center the content (a 780px fixed width div...

    Fixed-width DIV centred over 100% width DIV

    Hi there. I'm trying to get my DIV layout to let me centre 3 fixed-width DIVs in three full-screen-width DIVs: a header, a content section, and a footer which is pushed to the bottom of the content. So far, I've been unable to get the bottom DIVs to stretch across the screen without messing up...

    FireFox and Navigator layout rendering problems

    Thanks all for your helpful posts! I've got lots of ideas to start working with. A question for you, jstreich: I've tried to learn relative positioning, but it was always very confusing and hard to figure out. How do you think I could implement it on my pages? (If you need something to use as an...

    FireFox and Navigator layout rendering problems

    I think I need it dumbed down a bit for the first bit, anyway. At AListApart, he added another (?) background color code to his body tag, which would function as the white background on northernhardwood, right? So, how do my columns not match up, then? I would still background-colour them with...

    FireFox and Navigator layout rendering problems

    Thanks cLFlaVA, Hmmm... I added the full doctype, and now my right column is entirely messed up, and the whole page is off-center. Why is that? What does XHTML Doctypes do that is different? Obviously, I'll have to take some time to nail out all the differences with the new doctype for...

    FireFox and Navigator layout rendering problems

    Hi, I'm quite at the end of creative ideas on how to solve my browser compatability issues. I have two sites (www.insightstudios.ca & www.northernhardwood.ca) that both display perfectly in IE, but the DIV layers mess up in FireFox and Navigator. At least, I think it's the DIV layers. I don't...
