Ben,

If you're productive and just looking to move over to div layouts, I suggest you query the "CSS Box model" and study that concept first. It's the math behind page layout using divs, and IMHO you need it first in order to be productive no matter how you approach CSS for layout. There are two "box models" described on the web: the CSS box model for HTML elements, and the concept of page layout as a series of nested "boxes".

I believe that's the missing link. I went and got the CSS Mastery book.

Layout the page box model properly, and everything else seems to flow logically and comfortably. Not completely clear on the box model, and everything can seem like a P.I.T.A.
Exactly.


This is a very good article on the box model behind CSS, but scan all the pages http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/ Visual people like this simple demo for the HTML element box model concept. http://redmelon.net/tstme/box_model/ and I like to go here for page layouts according to box model (page level) http://glish.com/css/ but they are not the latest. For the latest, as always you go to the CSS lists.

Hope that helps.
It does, thanks! And thanks to everyone else you posted.

- Ben
