Ok... So it is decided... CSS is officially in as the new way to layout your website. How is it done? Any links to a good informative tutorial, or even just a website that does it so that I can look at the code.. Anywho... Thanks a bunch. With CSS can you have the content expand with the window, or resolution, or is it fixed?Well to start if you dont already know css then <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com/">http://www.w3schools.com/</a><!-- m --> is good but for some layouts look at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bluerobot.com">www.bluerobot.com</a><!-- w -->

Yes you can there are three different types of way to layout there is a fixed width , a fluid layout which resizes to the size of the screen and an elastic layout which resizes due to increasing or decreasing font size with the browsers controls.
Hope that helps
I have a decent knowledge of CSS, just not positioning.Yeah well then the blue robot site will help you.Originally posted by platinumwd

I can see how css replaces table layouts, and html attributes, and font tags and the like, but what's it got to do with frames? Is everyone going to start using JS to populate divs to simulate the functionality of frames?Originally posted by DUNSEL

JS? no, use the :hover pseudo element and for IE use a .htc file explained in:

If you're talking about only having to update one file, that's where a server-side language comes in. If you're talking about keeping the whole page static except for the content, that can be achieved with CSS. If you're talking about only having the content reload when you click on a link... who cares? If that happens, then you wouldn't be able to apply a certain style to the link that corresponds with the current page to help show what page the user is on, like so many sites do.
