Newspaper page layout in browser

Hello,

I've been trying to figure out how the columnar newspaper page layout is
achieved in web pages, say at http://home.netscape.com/ or
http://home.netscape.com/ . With the solid vertical & horizontal
delimiting lines (unlike the border="n" as in tables) solid colored
headlines background etc. It doesn't seem as if done with regular
tables, is it CSS-Based Tableless layouts, or just floating boxes ??

Thanks!

Honestly now, did you really think you'd get anything but drivel by posting
this to MS Publisher newsgroups?
Those folks have barely conquered the timetable for the short bus...

Adam hmmmm talk about a rude, inconsiderate and lazy person cross posting to
so many newsgroups.

I was going to tell you how. Obviously with your attitude, you really have
no need or desire to really want this information.

out of order, my friend. that sort of nonsense can only alienate you and

hmmmmmmmmm! you must be correct, a clear case of "The lights being on,
but nobody is at home". Your address says it all, at least you have
accomplished some level of literary skills.

Ok, I work for a small newspaper thats looking to translate our content to the web. XML sounds like a good way to do this, but i'm a little confused. Is it possible to have <b> and <i> tags in an XML document? we'd need to do this editorial style (movie names get are italic etc) When writing a dtd for the paper, it seems as though everything must appear in a linear fashion i.e. headline, body, endnotes.

I have an ASPX page that I'm creating. It'll have alot of text. I want the text to be 2 columns, like a newspaper. If the user resizes the browser the columns should adjust accordingly. What is the best way to handle this? In addition, I may want to constrain the vertical height of the columns. Is there a way to do this too? Thanks in advance!

I'm just getting started with ASP.NET in Visual Studio 2005. The last web work I did involved ASP 3.0 in FrontPage. I've been through the MSDN tutorials on creating web pages, but not of them seem to cover real-world page layout. In the ASP era, I used tables to provide a structure for a page, then coded HTML controls within the grid. So, my first question is: Are pages laid out the same way in ASP.NET--start with a table and add...

Hello, Several of the newer, more professional web sites are using a newspaper columnar layout, with text and links discretely contained in rectangular boxes (square or rounded), frequently with colored 'Title' tabs at the top. How are these boxes generated, are they using 'floating boxes' juxtapositioned to create the layout effect?
