I'm not sure I understand you; why don't floating elements solve your problem?

Also, if you're merely after page layout, why not use absolute positioning and margins?

e.g. something like:

(Toggle Plain Text)

left { position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 10px; width: 100px; }
right { position: absolute; top: 10px; right: 10px; width: 100px; }
middle { position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 120px; margin-right: 120px; }

I haven't tested the CSS, but the principle is well known for three-column CSS layouts.

Just google three column CSS layouts, and you'll find many like this.

xhtml is more about layers

Bullshit.

Arevos, I wish it where that simple... I want a layer in the middle of the page to stretch the page, but not all the way. So I set it to 90%. Then I align the two side images from the left and right styles, 10 pixels. They won't line up perfectly every time. It would depend on the window size.

Polyphemus_, you put that code on every page? Does php have something simalar to global.asax?

XHTML structures have proven inadequate for describing the current applications of Web use. Furthermore, XHTML is intended to be used (with CSS) as the basis of a presentation layer directly;

Instead, this document recommends that content authors rely upon style mechanisms such as CSS to define the formatting model for their content.

Not to mention I can get over 90% of the people on webmaster-forums.net to agree with me. All the moderators and administrators at least.

Watch out, JScript an JavaScript are diffrent. You can write an ASP page in JScript but not in JavaScript. Just as long as you don't call it Java I'm happy

Listen you arrogant bastard, i'm not trying to make your fatuous ass happy. JScript was MicroSoft's version of JavaScript when it release IE, i know that, but i'm too fucking lazy to type out JavaScript when everybody will know what i mean when i say JScript. You're a fucking over-analytical facist kind of guy to whom air wastes it's time keeping alive.

Hey. Tempest pretty covers all of what I was going to say except this. What are you trying to prove? You already think you know it all. Are you just trying to prove that to yourself or is this how you waste time? Personally I think you need to get a life and shut the fuck up and stop bothering people!!

bja888 · Oct 15th, 2005, 11:29 PM

No, I'm just waiting for some one to say the exercise cannot be done and you are to stubborn to accept that html isn't perfect.
Html works if you only have text. If you want a more dynamic look you have to make a better language. I, like most webmasters (developers, ect.) also want to bring an end to the browser incompatibility issues.

That�s not how the browser would read it though so you don't need all those spaces.

WTF????

this is common practice because it makes sense. whitespace in your text isn't going to slow the f***ing browser down.

This is the file simular to global.asax (header.php):

(Toggle Plain Text)

<?php
ob_start("strip_nl");
?>
[i]html code for the header over here...[/�]

<?php
function strip_nl($buffer) {
	return str_replace("\r\n", " ", $buffer);
}

function footer() {
?>
html code for the footer...
<?php
ob_end_flush();
}
?>

and this is what e.g. index.php looks like:

(Toggle Plain Text)

<?php
include("header.php");
?>
content code here...
<?php
footer();
?>
