-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Building a website using css and divs (at least at this point and it's really a rewrite of an existing website that uses almost exclusively tables) and I've been given the directive that the website MUST look the same in all browsers (primarily concerned with IE, FF, and Mozilla, less-so on Opera). I've been doing this using position:absolute up to this point but wonder if I'm missing the boat by not using relative positioning and floats. I'm curious about what the general css design populace agrees are "best practices" in this regard. My website is a multi-column website with a header, nav bar, and 3 columns (left, center, right), oh, and a footer. I'm also using php to make subsequent web pages on the site have the same header and left/right column information and footer (using include header.php3 , include left.php3, include right.php3, include: footer.php3) while have the center column change based on the url. One thing I've run into doing this is the placement of the footer where I'm positioning it as position: absolute; left: 0; bottom: 0: It positions at the bottom left very well when the web page doesn't run past one page but not worth a darn when the page becomes scrollable (it ends up displaying my footer stuff over the top of and in the "middle" of my 3 columns). I kind of deduced that this was because of the absolute positioning of the footer and that the footer doesn't know where the center column is ending to make the right choice of left:0 bottom:0 (hence my question about relative positioning and floats). I'm fairly new to the whole "web-site design/writing" world so any suggestions/comments you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
