[css-d] My layout needs your help

[Kim Brooks Wei]

Hi List Friends,

Here are the problems I'm having with my own site's layout. Perhaps 
you can help me resolve them.

My h1 doesn't appear inline as I want it to in the page's first paragraph.

Side navigation is giving me a bit of trouble. The content type 
scrolls up and down, but I want the navigation to stay in place in 
one spot on the page (like the tiger does). I tried a few ways to get 
this effect without success. The content type will need to indent on 
the right as it passes by the side navigation bars - as the bars 
protrude into the content type space.

Solutions accepted with gratitude. Be well!
Kimi

Your h1 is inline, but your paragraph isn't.

 Side navigation is giving me a bit of trouble. The content
 type 
 scrolls up and down, but I want the navigation to stay in
 place in 
 one spot on the page (like the tiger does).

Note that your tiger image has a position: fixed. You'll want something 
similar for your #mainnav and you'll probably want to move that element's 
position in your source document, depending on exactly where you want it to 
appear on screen. As you say, you'll probably want to add some space for it by 
narrowing your body copy.

I think that you want h1 { display: run-in; } - but when I last looked,
only Safari and Opera supported it. I imagine you have tried display:
inline? FWIW I bailed and used h1 { float: left; width: whatever; } -
nasty. I know.

Use { position: fixed; } for that. IE 6 does not support position:
fixed, so you may want to look at emulating it:

Can you post a link?

Cordially,
