Hi there,

Man have had to come back to think about web sites as well mines been dead a month.. and been asked about making another!

Question is though is it possible now using CSS to create a main page outline.. header, menu and footer. And just have main content on the page with everything else built around it!

I can roughly remember bits and bobs but google wasn't too useful this time. Will keep looking though!

Cheers for looking,

six

Heya

This page (http://glish.com/css/) should have most of what you're looking for concerning CSS page structures.

When you're more comfortable in the area, you might want to look at A List Apart (http://alistapart.com) for advanced CSS (and web dev. in general) techniques. :D

cheers,

is it possible to use css.. or anything else to write in the menu information.. rather than having to write it in on each page?

Not sure what you mean, are you referring to includes?

In theory, CSS2 has a content property which could be used to include external content, however this is completely unsupported (although Opera supports it to a very small degree) and thus is not a viable option for including content. For that, you'll have to rely on other options such as server side includes.
