Hello, first off, i am a noob at this and i have a lot of questions so please bear with me....anyhow, i have managed to kind of layout a page using a style sheet..i pretty much just made a bunch of id's and then call them in the html. As of now,no tables anywhere in the html... however, someone told me NOT to just use boxes this way, and that i should be using tables...the layout is supposed to be basic /generic: a banner at the top with the site name (which im trying to make fixed width), a couple of boxes on the left for links, etc., and a main content box in the center.I want the top banner to be constantly fixed / flush with the right edge of the browser window. i also want the links box on the left to be in a fixed position, and the main content box to be flexible up to a certain point...like on this page: when i resize the window, the contents move up to a certain point, whereupon they appear to be in a fixed position. Is this only possible with tables? and if so, how might i achieve this?
Someone told me something about a "pixel shim" or something which effectively stops everything at a certain point when
the window is resized.... thanks for any input
