Hey all, so I am a PHP coder, not a HTML / CSS designer. I need some help adding another column to my website.

Right now it has a column on the right. You can check out my site at www.bayareahangout.com

 

But yeah, I want to add another column to the left.

So its like

 

Left>Page Content>Right

 

Here is the CSS

html {min-height: 100%;}

* {
margin: 0;
padding: 1;
}

a {color: #963;}
a:hover {color: #C60;}

body {
background: #CCD8E0 url(../../images/theme/bg.jpg) repeat-x left bottom;
color: #444;
font: normal 62.5% Tahoma,sans-serif;
}

p,code,ul {padding-bottom: 1.2em;}

li {list-style: none;}

h1 {
font: normal 1.8em Tahoma,sans-serif;
margin-bottom: 4px;
}

code {
background: #FFF;
border: 1px solid #EEE;
border-left: 6px solid #C1CAD3;

Share on other sites

basically you just do something like this:

#leftcolumn {
float: left;
}
#content {
float: left;
}
#rightcolumn {
float: left;
}

 

that way they push each other from the right to the left.

leftcolumn < content < rightcolumn

 

you put them on the page like so:

<div id="leftcolumn"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="rightcolumn"></div>
