Validator I used was off Dreamweaver 8 and also off Firefox Web Developer Tools. The latter is HTML Tidy; I thought the DW8 was based on w3.org. I'm gathering the problem is this: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> What should it be? ------------- > That layout-solution clearly hasn't been tested with user-options such as > 'font > resizing', 'ignore font size' and 'minimum font size'. Hmmm -- I did do testing for resizing larger - smaller is rarely an issue. Admittedly didn't test for the other two specifically. Appreciate being reminded about this. ------------- > Is it 'jello' or 'elastic' you want? :-) Number of columns doesn't really > matter, > but the way you approach it does. An example... > <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/moa_12a.html> I can do a 3 column with the big one in the center -- have them on the site. But couldn't find anything with 4 columns that met what I had to do on that site as far as links and content. I can "live" with the iced-4-column but future work needs 4 columns where at least ONE of the middle or inner columns can be elastic. ------------- >> B) should I take the CSS and pull like items together. > Compacting the stylesheet is a good idea. May not help on maintenance though. I think it would help with maintenance. In fact, that's the only reason I would take the time to do it. Right now if I alter say the padding and margin on those inner columns, I have to get it right on every ONE of those classes. If I "cleaned" it up or compacted it -- one change would be all that would be needed. Appreciate your feedback a lot.
