Yep, sure is. But you usually don't "convert" something to CSS since CSS is a completely different way of doing it

You just don't use any code to modify the way something looks, other than markup meant to split up the site. But, again, that site is VERY possible, and arguably simple to do in CSS.

should it be done with floating divs?

[IncaWarrior]

it would be real' nice!i always have problems with backgrounds..

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

well, got problem wit everything, but wit bg specially,hehe

Well, then it'd be good to brush up on the basics (http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp) first, then.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

hehe, this is okay, the basics are known. but their floating section is a bit short, and doesnt really explain how to do that.

Actually, CSS layouts are usually semantic, meaningful markup, with some semantically meaningless DIVs to get things where you want them to go.

As for floats, check out this CSS Directory (http://www.roderickhoward.com/cssdirectory/), and look at the Floats section (I think there's one...).
