I'm at it again

I'd like to know what you guys think of this layout:

http://fah.mine.nu/clouded/

(Links to my local dev server).

It displays properly in FF3. Anyone got some tips for making this look properly in IE7? The CSS file is located here. And does it display ok in FF2? It should look like the attached screenshot.

use the w3 validator, its the standards which FF, IE3 and chrome, and all websites need to follow, for pages to display properly.

Often IE doesn't accept W3 standards and display them correctly though. I'll have a look at it.

As with most people I jump around which projects I work on and which I drop for a while.
Currently I'm back working on Sioux, a Hollywood Western RTS.

I have done this so far (It is incomplete). Which works in IE and Firefox.

I just used the float:left command:



Hope that is some sort of help. I'll see if I can implement it into your code.

Thanks! It was sort of. I've got a couple new issues. I can't figure out how you got the boxes centered, and I can't get the contentbody (with the clouds) to vertically extend and house all the boxes.

But at least it displays the same in each browser now

Any further help would be appreciated!

Try this:



It works in IE and Firefox.

The problem with the cloud background was solved by adding "float:left" to #content_main.

To center a <div> inside another <div> is a pain.
Put this to center a div:

div {
width: 80%; (Or some other value)
margin: auto;
}

Hope that helps more.

arg.. seems no matter what I do I can't get it to work properly... I'm tempted to just use tables >.<

Right now I have a scrollbar on the page, because I set #contentbody width to 100 percent, otherwise it doesn't fill width of the page...

But if I work around that, then other stuff breaks :/ I should just stick to tables for that inner section layout
