Hi guys,
Well as some of you suggested months ago, I've been trying to learn to layout with CSS... It's actually getting a bit rewarding now as I start to figure a few things out but there's still plenty of questions!!!
If anyone can take a look at what I'm working on at the moment and give me some help I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it!!
My main trouble (I think) is working with a drop-down menu system that I found on the web and I'm dying to use it because it's perfect for this design. It's layed out using a table so I'm trying to incorporate that...
Click here for a picture of what i'm trying to get this page to look like and here to see how far I've got. You can download the stylesheet from here.
Here's what I need to know:
1. I'm trying to push the table down so it looks better lined up with the logo but when I tell it to be further from the top, it doesn't seem to move. Any ideas on why?
2. As you can see, I've inserted some blank space into the middle of the menu so that the logo doesn't cover any of the menu items. I can't seem to get the same 1px black border on this section.
I assume this is because the border on the other parts is a layer/div border? Will I have to somehow put a div in there so as to create the same border effect?
3. I'd really like to keep the header and footer visible at all times, even if there's lots of content to scroll through. I found this: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/basics2.html#Top but when I tried to implement this on my page, it all went haywire! Is this going to be a possibility?
4. I guess other than that, have I completely stuffed this up!? I don't think I have but it's worth asking I guess!
THANKS IN ADVANCE! I'm really loving using css layout rather than tables - it's soooo much more versatile. I just need to get past some obstacles I think!
Cheers
Neil
