CSS Navigation Menu's
Hi All
Have been reading up on CSS , navigation, floating images etc
When you create a navigation bar down the left on a 3 column layout, how would you get it to display the contents
in the middle area if you aren't using tables..especially if they are floating
I might know the answer but just don't realise it ...can someone point me in the right direction?
Cheers
Rob

Usually 3 colm layout is done by 3 div's being floated left, or fixed outers and floating inner.
here is an example of a 3 column layout - http://www.pixy.cz/blogg/clanky/css-3col-layout/ (view source to get the code, don't copy the javascript though).
The layout is basically
navigation
content
other side or stuff

Are you asking about how to make the layout work like that? There are lots of examples on the web. This site has some code samples you could play with (scroll down to "Three column examples"). They're not pretty but they work!
(and I have been pointing people to that site a lot lately!)

Thanks for your replies
What it is is I currently use ekmpowershop to host my business website.
The way their templates work is that you design it, and put a "tag" where you want their script so when you clickon a link, their script plonks what it needs to display in the revelant place.
e.g
[EKMCONTENTS]
At the moment this is in a table so pretty simple even for muggins here
What Im not sure on, is if i start using CSS, because there doesn't seem to be any fixed borders...the TAG script will look a mess
If you get me, be good to hear your side of things
Cheers

Do you have a link so we can see what that looks like in practice? I'm a little foggy headed today

Basically i pay £20 a month for the site, but im a IT engineer and dont like the idea of paying for something when i can get it cheaper and do myself so would either like to change the template they supply or move to something like zencart, but its just finding the time to do it while working.
I will probably use zencart in the long run but would like to change the template on ekmpowershop to something which doesn't use tables
Cheers
