I would like the main body table to be 800 in width and both of the side naviation table to be in 200 in width. Total width would be 1200. I want my header to be 1200 in length. I want the height at 1800 for all of the table. I want the footer to be 1200 in width too as same as the header. Thank you very much for replying. I really appreciate it. I thank you very much. Thanks!

No he doesnt want 100% width, he wants 1200 in width. Your percentage values for the width are also wrong, the body is much wider than the side navigation. He wants 1800 altogether in height as well.

Here is the code you put in your CSS file called "layout.css":

CODE

#header { position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:1200; height:200; border-style:solid; border-width:1; }

#footer { position:absolute; top:1600; left:0; width:1200; height:200; border-style:solid; border-width:1; }

#nav1 { position:absolute; top:200; left:0; width:200; height:1400; border-style:solid; border-width:1; }

#nav2 { position:absolute; top:200; left:1000; width:200; height:1400; border-style:solid; border-width:1; }

#body { position:absolute; top:200; left:200; width:800; height:1400; border-style:solid; border-width:1; }

In your index.html, or home page, put this:

CODE

<HTMl>

<HEAD>

<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="layout.css" title="default">

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<DIV id="header">

Stuff for Header

</DIV>

<DIV id="nav1">

Stuff for the left nav bar

</DIV>

<DIV id="body">

Stuff for the body

</DIV>

<DIV id="nav2">

Stuff for the right nac bar

</DIV>

<DIV id="footer">

Stuff for the footer

</DIV>

</BODY>

</HTML>

Here is what this code looks like, as a test:

I am assuming the header is 200 in height, please tell me what it should be. Any changes you want, just ask. Also I need height of the footer at the bottom. If you don't like the border then tell me. Or if you don't want to seperate files then say that. ^^

Well, probably yes, but I ran it through the CSS checker and no warnings or errors turned up, so I guess its ok.

Hey ,don't you think that every element name must be lower case?

Yeah I was wondering that too why it was so big. Maybe becuase most of his viewers have a higher resolution?

Isn't 1200 or sommit way too big! Especially for vistors with 800x600 screen resolutions! or 15" screens!

I recommend lowering the widths man! Althought you may have a bigger screen others may not have. Remember that dude!
