Yeah - the presence of tables in the layout really causes troubles! > Here is my problem and I am sure it is just me being dumb. Say > I want a header, a footer and two columns in between.

If I understand you, I think this is pretty easy w/ ez-css. I have now done a few layouts w/ it in web2py (as of last night), and have sent you an ez-css layout.html for "welcome" app (it uses the css classes from base.css, but a few settings that were assigned to table elements, I had to update / put elsewhere - base.css has minor changes; ez-plug.css remains stock). There are probably other things that could be cleaned up in base.css, but this was pretty easy (once I realized how to go about it). - Yarko > > Massimo > > On Mar 18, 11:46 pm, Yarko Tymciurak <resultsinsoftw...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > On Mar 18, 10:31 pm, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > > > > The problem I see is that it is too simple. > > > sizeXofY does not seem to guarantee that all columns have the same > > > lenght (ez-css does it). > > > I like to have the menu column fixed width and the main column elastic > > > and it does not do that (not sure if ez-css does). > > > I have installed ez-css to try out / play with... it does do fixed > > width + variable width columns: > > > In multiple ways, actually (depending on how you nest it); > > seehttp://www.ez-css.org/layouts > > > See module 2A, 2B, layout 2, layout 3, etc.... > > > Each of these use "ez-50", a 50% width element, or "ez-33", a 33% > > width element. > > > ez-css encourages you to create your own width element if the pre- > > defined ones don't "do it" for you - so, create a > > ez-500px, and you'd have what you want. > > > This seems like a really clean, easily modifiable and "combinable" > > package...
