I've been meaning to learn CSS for some time, but the task has always seemd so daunting. I can play with the basics of it, but I'm not quite sure just how much it can do for me. With the folling site, I'm wonder if I can use CSS to do that actual page layout, that is to say tha tables and images forming the top and left with my being able to do the middle/right section per page...
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.alphafligh.net">http://www.alphafligh.net</a><!-- m -->
If anyone can provide some advice as to how I should tackle this, that would be great!
BenLayout should and can be done with css.
A start would be to learn the basics (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp">http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp</a><!-- m -->)
Some basic boxes (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/boxes.html">http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutori ... boxes.html</a><!-- m -->) are shown here.
Your page appears to be 2 columns with another 2 columns in the right column, or 3 column layout.Tanks for those links, I'll take a good look over them. What I'm not seeing is if I can actually specify links in the style sheet.
The only real bennifit I can see for me to use CSS for this would be if the left column in it's intirety could be pulled from a style sheet. Therefore I could simply add a link in the style sheet, and it would be reflected in the literally hundreds of other pages that have that same link bar on the left. Is this within the reach of CSS?ccs changes the style and layout of the page.
What you want to do is done with templates and preferably a server side language to join the templates together to form the page.You're in the ballpark with this:
home (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.johnbarrick.com/test/alphaflight/round02/index.html">http://www.johnbarrick.com/test/alphafl ... index.html</a><!-- m -->)
subpage (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.johnbarrick.com/test/alphaflight/round02/sub.html">http://www.johnbarrick.com/test/alphafl ... 2/sub.html</a><!-- m -->)
I don't have a PC so maybe someone else can help u with inevitable PCIE issues. I used a small extra CSS for MacIE so maybe those small changes will be needed for PCs as well.
So that means if all u have is IE6, this may not look right to you...thankz this i gr8 info for starting to learn css
