With Cascade DTP I have just been experimenting with absolute positioning. My impression is that this forces a very rigid approach to design and layout. And I have not felt there is comfortable surfing with the floats I have viewed. If I am missing the point how, with the latest css (oft-praised on wdvl talk), can I achieve the flow and adaptability of tables - which I find a much more comfortable viewing experience? Intertwined in this, I suppose, is the question: just because it can be done, should it? I hope this is a sensible question; I have my dunce's cap ready if not. Joseph Harris ============================================================================ West Civ offers a fine set of basic courses. Their technique is to offer free online versions on a rotating basis. Currently they are offering CSS Level 1, the introductory course. It's in week 5 now but you can also get to Week 4 and frankly the expense is minor for the entire course. Have a look at: http://www.westciv.com/courses/free/index.html Also for the box model, Big John and Holly have a fine mini tutorial at: http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/float-theory.html Their site is excellent for explaining some of the special features found only in IE. drew ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
