Joseph, Also google for css columns. That will help you get a foundational understanding of how css does layouts. I try to shy away from absolute positioning as much as I can. Check out: http://www.simplebits.com He has some wonderful CSS designs and tutorials (although many are advanced).

drew, MOU and Stephen, I am following through on the urls and will further build my understanding; zengarden and happycog are excellent sites. I don't argue with that at all. Positioniseverything offers great clarity. I have no trouble with the principles of css/box/float, nor the site

Download DVD Decrypter (http://www.dvddecrypter.com/) and DVD Shrink (http://www.dvdshrink.info/ and http://www.dvdshrink.org/where.html). Personal-use copies of media that you own are not a problem, but you will need DVD Decrypter to get rid of the CSS and Macrovision protection and DVD Shrink to

Just to follow up... I had meant to mention earlier that there are quite a few /benefits/ to fixed width layouts. While you noted they seem inflexible, until we get a bit better CSS support from IE (namely min-width and max-width, which will enable us to blend fluid and fixed width layouts a bit
