Hi Kerin,
Actually, no... everything is NOT relatively positioned! You see, you have
your #menu {float: left;}. This takes it OUT of the normal flow. In this
case, you need to allow for the space it's taking by adding margin-left to
#content. Try this:
<style type="text/css">
#holder {
margin-left:12.5%;
margin-right:12.5%;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#menu {
float: left;
width: 112px;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
#content {
border: 1px solid black;
margin-left: 137px;
}
</style>
This should get you started on the right path. (No height declarations
needed)
