div help

[herghost]

Hi all,

 

 

I have a webpage which is 700px wide and positioned in the center of the screen, how would I create another div which is displayed to the left of the left border of my existing page? Basically I just want a menu bar there.

 

 

Thanks

You have to wrap that within another centered div. If I am getting you right here, that this should be outside the webpage which is 700px;

 

Like so:

 

<div id="mainwrap">

<div id="lmenu"></div>

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

</div>

 

..then center the main wrapper and make sure the widths add up for your menu and content. So say you're menu is 200px and the content is 700px:

 

#mainwrap{width:900px;margin: 0 auto;}
#lmenu{width: 200px;float:left;}
#content{width:700px;float:left;}

 

That should work fine though just pasting all that in a page as is probably won't.
