Posted by Oli  @   6:25 PM · 02 November  to   CSS · Coding · HTML · Weblogging

This is a reference for me so I don’t forget how to code for Boblet. It’s just my notes on tag attributes and styles to tie in with my stylesheets. This is of no interest (unless you are interested in the how’s and why’s of my code).

Posted by Oli  @  12:24 PM · 28 August  to   CSS · Coding · Weblogging

And I thought table layouts were tough! How are we meant to make a basic two column layout in CSS? This really should be easier. Here’s what I came up with, using position:relative on the background and position: absolute on the menu.

These observations on Netscape Navigator 4.7 (Mac) and some other browsers’ weirdities were made while building a Mie University Center for International Students template. The template layout is table-based but uses CSS extensively, and doesn’t contain nested tables. I haven’t…
