layout

[PeOfEo]

A kid asks me why his Iframe is not positioned and I told him its a problem with his colspan and he was like ok then I told him why dont you try using css. Then he asks me where do I begin. I have been wanting to experiment with css for a while for a layout but have not made any new standard html sites for quite some time and when I do get back to it it would be nice to know... where do I begin? How do css tables look in code? Anyone have a website with some source codes I can look over to see what you do?

Feel free to examine the CSS on my beta site if you want to see use of CSS to apply columnar layout : http://www.xhtmlcoder.com/worthvalley/

The tip is to keep your CSS simple and test in Mozilla Firebird and Micro$oft IE.

Simon Willison has a very nice set of tutorials on CSS. It may be difficult to read for a beginner. Its a great place to learn "CSS tricks"

If you have been using a bit of CSS, and know how to use floats and positioning to create some layouts, you can directly go to the above site. If not, it may be worthwhile reading the tutorials from W3Schools site.

Else, get a book on CSS (Eric Meyer's is a good one) and start learning.

Yes, Simon has some reasonable CSS tutorials for people who are only familiar with basic use of CSS.
