Hi List, I was really hoping for a response to the following the first time around but, perhaps it was missed? if anyone can provide a solution/answer to what follows, I'd immensely appreciated:
Is there a way to combine floated divs with absolute positioned divs for layout, without having the page behave erratically across several browsers? The pages (both are live samples of the templates we work with) in question are: http://www.nj.com/news/ http://www.pennlive.com/lehighvalley/nce.net/impact/index.ssf The company I work for would like the content area (FEATURED STORY/ALL STORIES FROM [DATE]:) column to appear at the top of the HTML document, right after the body tag for SEO purposes. While still retaining the look of the current layout. What you should also know about this proposed request is that numerous hands have messed with the code. The CSS sheets being called are a mess and this is the first time I am dealing with it. They expect me to clean up the mess and give them what they want. The other thing is that it is only coded to transitional standards which doesn't validate as is. And they use a proprietary platform called .ssf that behaves like a combination of frames and server side includes. The browsers we support are IE 6 & 7 and FF on PC and FF & Safari on Mac. Basically, I've already told them I didn't think it was a good idea given the time frame and because I'm thinking floats and absolute might not mix well. And because the code is a mess, that it would be better to start from scratch (something which really can't be done at this point given the deadline). So what I wanted to know from you guys is - is there any way to give them what they want and salvage this mess of a mess in a short amount of time? Or is this just really hopeless? All feedback welcomed.
