Drezard Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hello, Please check this code out for me: What I wanted was a standard 3 column design with a footer. The first column being 150px wide and being called 'left'. The second column being what ever is left in space and being called 'center'. The third column being 100px from the right side and being called 'right'. And then a footer in the middle at the bottom. Now heres my code: Styles.css /* CSS Document */ /* Version: 1.0 Purpose: This contains all the GUI and Sytles information to use in any HTML document a user will see.

aebstract Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Can I ask you why you want your columns to be a certain distance from the sides? This is going to cause problems when viewed for many reasons: 1) Someone's resolution may be smaller, causing stuff to overlap. 2) If you restore the screen and make it smaller, its going to also cause stuff to overlap. Are you wanting everything overall centered? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/42637-layout-problems/#findComment-207011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
