1/ Horizontally centering the page on the screen. <http://bluerobot.com/web/css/center1.html> 2/ A simple naming convention for a two-column layout with horizontal navigation under the header /might be:/ #header (contains h1-- the document-title, and the logo). #hnav (contains the horizontal navigation). #content (contains the primary content of the page). #sidebar (contains the secondary content of the page and vertical navigation if any). #footer (contains tertiary and incidental information.) Float (rather than absolute positioned) structured layouts will work better for you. Layouts that employ floats in combination with negative margins tend to be very stable, and robust cross-browser (in addition to allowing the preference some authors have for putting the primary content first in the document source order). This a set of various 2 & 3 column float layouts using these principles: <http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/>. (n.38 at the bottom of the set is probably closest to what I assume you are after). -- http://chelseacreekstudio.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
