Layouts - Preference

11-26-2003

In the website I going to start out on, I want to use layers but I don't know the best way to appoarch my design. (Which is like a basic 3 column with a header on top that is within a box centered in the window....too complicated?)

Should I use Adobe/ImageReady or CSS?

Any other way is much appreciated.

The websites I want to emulate is like ngemu.com. I just like the look of the box being in the center instead of being attached to the left.

By the way, I also have Dreamweaver.

If you mean using css to absolute position tables and stuff like that... do not do it.. it is not supported on a lot of browsers like mozilla or netscape..

I would stick with using tables..

It is my job as moderator, and I take my jobs seriously, any time you need help, just post

Digital is definetely the coding guru around here.

Digital already mentioned posting, but I want to explain. It's better to post than (private) message because we can keep posts as future references to point other members to.

its definetely better to post rather than PM, because other people do benefit from it, for example right now, i didn't NEED to know if it's better to use CSS or tables, but it's something that i'm happy i now know!

Digital, it says that in my signature.

I was mainly talking about general community help. Like learning how to do something on the message board, etc.

Really Digital?

I'm reading a Sams book and it says to use CSS for layouts because W3C recommends it and because CSS gives you extra power. He says that pretty much all recent browsers support CSS, but some older versions do not, but that is rare.

Read over that site, I think TekVex is right.

I believe that is a place to learn CSS (among other things), maybe thats what you were going for. But the W3C are the people who try to make all browsers support HTML the same so it looks the same more universally or whateverm and their site is www.w3c.org

CSS is useful.. that I can agree, but layers and the more advanced and often misused areas of css can really screw up a page... I was talking on layers, not on CSS in total

TekVex, thanks for correcting me. That's what I meant lol.

But isn't it better if used correctly? Tables are being pushed out by W3C and they are slower as well. W3C is also welcoming the future CSS brings. What do you think?
