Hi guys Sorry this is a WE05 specific question...
In Eric Meyer's presentation at WE05, he talked through the decision-making process of constructing AListApart. It was a good presentation, but lost me at one point. The challenge was: * three columns of content * no guarantee which would be longer * vertical lines between them * a footer that spanned the full width of the screen As part of the decision, he was discussing whether he would use absolute positioning or floats for the columns. I remember him saying that he couldn't use absolute positioning because he wouldn't know which column was longest. This is where I lost the point... I understand this is hard because you don't know which column to use as a reference for the footer positioning. But couldn't you wrap the three columns in an relatively positioned div and position the footer relative the the whole thing? Is the problem just that he didn't want to mess the markup with an irrelevant div? I didn't want to ask him about something so trivial when I met him later, so talked about children instead...
