After a very long trial period, it doesn't look like I am going to be able to keep the cat that someone left on Kari's doorstep ages ago. The cat known as Umlaut Chino Tagert New-Kitty Bitch-Cat Bastard, and, more recently, Adolf.
He is a very cute, very sweet, very playful, people friendly cat. He sleeps [...]

I am a happy man. Using CSS (and ONE little table for the header because the "float" property either don't work properly in my browser or doesn't do what I think it does) and nested DIVs I have successfully completed my new layout. It still needs finishing touches (nav bars, link colors, graphics for entries, [...]

makes an interesting point about CSS layout in a comment to my post about the problems with CSS layout. CSS is immature. Sure, it is in it's second version and going on the third, but the browser support has only really been there for ONE version. Since a conforming browser was not built along [...]

Perhaps it is because my mind is still trapped in the world of tables, but, regardless of what I do, I can't seem to be satisfied with CSS layout.
CSS either needs an excellent tutorial for fluid (not pixel based) layout using the current model, or it needs to implement one of the two major models [...]

Even though IE5PC gets the box model WRONG according to the W3C spec, I actually like their way of doing it better. It makes it MUCH easier to add up percentages. With the spec's version of the box model, if I have two boxes side by side of equal width, I could set them at [...]

Yet another version of the layout is available.
This version works (in some cases acceptably, and in other cases perfectly) in the following browsers:
Mozilla 2002-02-14 Linux (Thanks to me)
Opera 6.0TP2 Linux (Thanks to me)
Mozilla 0.9.4 Win32 (Thanks to me)
IE 5.00.2920.0000 Win32 (Thanks to me)
Mozilla 2002-02-21 Win32 (Thanks to chrisg)
IE 6.0.2600.0000 Win32 (Thanks to chrisg)
Konquerer 2.2.1 Linux [...]

I have another version of the CSS layout available. This one accounts for the non-conforming aspects of IE5PC in respect to widths.
The short end of the problem with IE5PC is that it INCLUDES borders, padding, and margins in the width calculation when the spec says it should not. In other words, if you declare the [...]

I have a little bit of money that I can spend. It has been a while since I have purchased any major electronics for myself. The advantage of this particular piece of equipment, is that it will satisfy both the "electronics" side of me and the "art" side of me. It is the Minolta dImage [...]

I gave up on using CSS for super fancy designs. I've decided that, at this point anyway, anything outside of "basic" will require the use of tables (with CSS) in order to achieve them.
However, I have been able create a simple layout that suits me for the time being. I've tested it with Opera 6.0TP3 [...]

After days of reading, countless hours of coding, and tons of help from fellow LiveJournal users, and other Technically Minded Citizens I have solved all of my CSS problems. What you have to do is this: don't use CSS for layout. Ever. And you thought CSS was difficult.
