[css-d] multi-column question

A gap in my understanding is illustrated at http://new.ggfilms.com/purchase/index.taf which has four columns defined by: /*multicolumn layout for catalog */ .col_container {clear:both;} .col1 {float:left; width:170px;padding:5px;} .col2 {float:left; width:175px;padding:5px} .col3 {float:left; wid

Hallo Jen, Dan Cederholm http://www.simplebits.com uses a method that "I THINK" Douglas Bowman developed called sliding doors to produce buttons that expand with the text. The work isn't overly taxing, though it does ad a little extra weight to the Mark-up. You could check that out as it's

Thanks to everyone who responded. This was really helpful! To save list some hits I will only reply to Georg who covered most of the main points people had. (Tigdh had a really good point though about what happens when white text breaks out of a background - I didn't think of that.) > Advice:

[css-d] Centering help

Hi, Working on a Perl script that puts out a page. I have the script working, except in IE my footer isn't centered. Seems to work in Firefox, so I must be missing something stupid, but haven't figured this out in a couple of hours. Anyway, here's the page: http://www.econocaribe.com/cgi-bin/a
