Hi Christian, thanks for the quick feedback. > the markup is not conducive to a fixed-fluid layout right now, and you > have both a stylesheet and inline styles, which makes things tough to > edit.
You say that my markup isn't conducive to a fixed-fluid layout, but the second example that I mentioned has it working fine: http://www.rit.edu/upub/new/contact_us.html It's the same markup in both the contact_us and contact_us2 files. So am I missing something about what you're saying? If my markup isn't conducive to it, how is it possible that I have a fixed-fluid layout working? But why not just use the example where you have the fixed-fluid layout working then? That's because the sidebar is positioned absolutely, and I want it to be relative. Which is where all my troubles started. As for the inline styles, those are just in a single div that I was trying some opacity things with. I don't think I have any other inline styles except that div. > You want: > > <div id=container> > <div id=sitenav> > </div> > rest of content > </div> Hmmm, my current markup is <div id=container> <div id=sitenav> </div> <div id=maincontent> rest of content </div> </div> The only different between what you suggested and what I have is that my content has a div around it (called maincontent). If I set that div to be inline, wouldn't that be functionally the same as what you suggested I do? Heheh, can you tell I'm standing by my markup structure!? :) Anyway, I had tried that before (including setting the margin-left to the width of the width of my sitenav div) but then doing that screws with the clearer divs, so the second person in the contact list doesn't start until the nav on the left is finished. So that didn't work either. Anyone else have ideas? -o- Jared Lyon ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
