Hi Kaspars, Thanks very much for your reply, which was very helpful. I first saw Doug Livingstone's code in a book by someone else, but with no width included for #outer. His code at www.redmelon.net/tstme/ 3cols2/noborder.htm has width: auto which I tried just before I got your reply. As you saw, that didn't work--but your suggestion did.
This is my first css layout, so I appreciate the corrections and have replaced the incorrect classes with <strong> and <em>. I see your point about just using the code on www.redmelon.net and will clean up my code with that model in mind. But I'm trying to make the same underlying structure work for both main and back page layouts (which are quite different visually), so that's why I needed to alter his column widths. I definitely want to keep all 3 floating columns (and the header and footer), just with minor variations. I'm still experimenting and thinking things through but will soon be able to move the structural code into a separate css file and organize all the rest of the presentational code (the big mess). ;) Regards, Jeanne Jeanne Prine, Webmaster University of Georgia College of Pharmacy [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone 706-542-5354 fax 706-542-5269 ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
