Re: [WSG] how do I add a navigation type menu in CSS

2004-07-20 Thread Patrick H. Lauke
Two ways that spring to mind: float the menu to the left and leave enough
padding on the content's left side to compensate (although this may be flaky
in
certain situations), or use absolute positioning to put both the menu and
the content
on the page...
Effectively, it's a simple 2 column layout.

 Hi,
 I've been trying to do a left hand navigation menu in CSS and have been
 having trouble getting the main content area to align next to the menu
 instead of below the menu.
 Can anyone share some tips or tutorials that can help me complete this
task.

 thanks

If you are trying for a 2 column effect, float the navigation and the main
content left (you can do it right but then be sure to reverse the order). 

If you want the main content to flow around the navigation, float the
navigation left or right inside and at the beginning of the containing
element of the main content.
