Ok,
I did spend tons of time now (as a beginner in css stylecoding) (but making
html pags for many years), to get this right.
But I am overseeing something.
At this link you find a drawing of my wanted layout:

description:
-a left column in which I want to put some artwork only (jpg with repeat-y
over the whole heigth of the page!).
-the obvious header
-a MainContent block (in which I now floated my "menu" div and a first
content "cont1" div (- I also tried to take the menu outside the content
block))
-a footer
Whatever I do, I keep getting strange things.
At the moment, for instance, the content and menu texts go through my footer
and go on below it. That is my main problem now.
But some other problems, having to do with absolute and relative positioning
I guess(?), also show up sometimes.
The footer problem, I tried to solve with this concept:

But somehow, I loose my footer completely than!?!?!
I did go through several internet courses on how to work with css layouts,
but mostly they work with the concept of a fixed width content. And that is
not what I want. I want to desing for 800x600 minimum. And content should be
adapting to larger resolutions/screens.
Maybe you people can have a look below?
thx
Ron
