Hi everyone,
I'm rather new to using CSS rather than tables, and am trying to put together a campaign site for Alzheimer's Awareness week, however, I'm stuck with the layout of the front page. http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/aaw2007/
This front page is displaying okay in Internet Explorer 7: 
But not so well in Firefox: 
The golfers image at the bottom should be aligned left, and the keep your brain active section should be next to it - like it is in Fireworks.
Is there something I can add to one of my css elements to fix this?
Would be very grateful for any help.
Tash
PS: The big white space at the top of the page is just a placeholder until the banners are approved.
5  1039 
Validate your html for your list of 18 errors there. Then validate and fix your css errors.
I'll be gone till tonight and I'll look at this then.
Most people are afflicted with the 'divitis' disease which is the use of too many <div> elements. Here I see a more rare form of the same thing 'spanitis'. The <span> element is used on inline elements that are part of the normal flow of paragraphs, usually.
The problem here is IE, which it almost always is. IE does not handle floats properly at times. To get FF to do what you want, add 'clear:left' to the CSS for #imagebox. Whether this will continue to work for you if you add more stuff to the page, I don't know.
Thanks so much for your time and advice!
Will now go and look for the cure for spanitis.

Once again my big mouth has landed me with a tough job.
I have a static CSS layout, where each and every element has been defined
by pixel size - lots of them, too! Mostly relative elements, though.
Imagine centered column layout, with a header box, and content box with
lots of smaller content boxes of different sizes, some spanning several
'rows' or 'columns'.
How would you go about changing this kind of static layout into

I'm trying (once again) to figure out how to make a robust
CSS layout style that can replace tables. I'd like to be able
to do a basic two-column layout, with a one-column header,
a two column body, and a two-column footer.
The problem, and one that always sends me back to using tables,
is that word "robust." Absolute positioning gets squirrelly,
because it takes the positioned elements completely out of the
float scheme, and stuff...

Hi,
I am new to this newsgroup and need help in the following questions.
1. I am workin' on a GUI application. Does C# provides Layout Managers the
way Java does to design GUI? I know that it can be done using the designer
but I intentionally don't want to use that. The one reason is that you
cannot change the code generated by the designer. The other could be that
you have more free hand and control to design your GUI.

The idea of this is very simle. The site is 800px wide and sits in the
middle of the browser window, on either side of the site I want a different
background image aligned against it. If I were doing this with table based
layout the code would be as follows:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#bgleft {
background: url(left_half_circle.gif) right top repeat-y;
