Tables to CSS

[DaRNCaT]

Hey, I normally code using tables, and I have built a layout for a programmer, who is going to add dynamic PHP content into it. The problem is he has asked that I give him the layout using CSS positioning, and no tables. One I'm not sure where to start- not having done this before, two, the site has to be cross browser compatable, and three I have javascript rollovers in the menu section-and I don't know if CSS positioning will allow this.
Any links to good easy to understand tutorials or any help would be greatly appreciated.


Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..

my webpage...

http://www.scriptingsolutions.tk

uses css absolute positioning. And yes, if the rollovers are done with the ol' document.getElementById('divID').innerHTML, you can position the div and all will be well...

div.classname {position:absolute; top:#px; left:#px}

that is # of pixels from the top, and # of pixels from the left. Hope that helps!

helps, but.. I've never used css to position stuff, only to formatt text- any pointers where to start?
