I thought something was wierd, because it seems like a really
flexible layout and verys similar to the BlueRobot one. This one
should work which is my current version:
http://www.pixelmech.com/3col_pm.html
The one question I have (for Owen or whoever). The end of the one IE5
fudge:
html>body #middle {
margin-top: 0px; /* ie5win fudge ends */
}
Does it have to be 0px? Reason I ask: I had to make a class called
"top" (see the url) so my header wouldn't be bumped up and off the
page a bit (an h3). Just starting with a P is fine of course, because
the P style says:
p {
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 22px;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
I just wondered if there was a better way than making the class. I
will use this as one of my blog pages, so the first item in the
#middle will be some header, not a para.
Anyway, thanks Owen for the layout - its exactly what I wanted.
Tom
