Okay. Would I achieve the same advantage if I do not style that <div
id="container">, is it effectively disabled? Or, use {display:none;}?
And, go with this instead:
<div id#primary> side text </div>
<div id#content>
<div class="content"> content </div>
</div>
I am constrained by working with the html template of this wordpress
framework html. I can over-ride it. (wordpress is designed for that).
But it is simpler for me to work it out in the CSS.

I don't need it to be perfect in IE6 and IE7, just readable. Let me
know what needs modification or what to look for.

You are beyond my depth here on the full purpose and function of the
XML prolog and the implications of going into quirks mode. Since IE6
is about the limit of how far backward compatible I am working for and
doesnt need to be perfect, I can probably change or get rid of the XML
prolog but I don't know what I would be losing

excellent, I see what you are doing there.

You lost me. I don't see changes to the layout DIVs. If you tell me
which kinds of elements you removed resets on, I will probably grok
your point.

I will go for less now. The layout in it's present form was my idea
for getting a handle on the basic layout css...perhaps not the best
idea. I will set up my draft now as simple as I can. Here is a
screenshot of my draft template

This version has the content column split into two columns which Will
be needed sometimes.
