I was trying to build the following page with CSS-P but had to resort to using a basic two cell table to make the columns. I tried using two divs with positioning elements for each column, but it would position the right column vertically below the left column but horizontally correct....I'm probably not making sense.

Anyway, does anyone know the easiest way to setup page columns using CSS-P?

Thinking aloud here:

I wonder if you could use this. Change the width to 50% maybe???? I haven't tried it. Just a thought

I am not sure why people are using this CSS-P acronym but I don't think its really a recognized one. Instead just refer to it as CSS. Although "position" is a css property it really is only a small part of CSS. Most css pages can be done without the "position" property anyways so you might as well just leave it off and chances are, more people will understand what your talking about. Just trying to get you more responses! Smiling

Here is a link that shows how to set up columns in css:

I think it's just a subset set of CSS, and us oldbies use it as shorthand for "CSS layout" v. "tables layout". Wink

I thought y'all was singular and all y'all was plural?

yeah, but I was using "y'all's" as plural possessive. Smiling
