(My test file uses the following: .main { float:right ; width:75%} .afterwords { clear: both } .nav { background-color: gold ; width 25%} to give a width to the nav area. I noticed that the colour of the .nav section bleeds across in some browsers - not a grave error, but I thought I would leave it there to check anyway. cheers Charles On Mon, 18 Feb 2002, Charles McCathieNevile wrote: Yes, this is what I had planned to do orignally, and more like the earlier vesion that is linked from my orioginal post. The troupble is that I am not sure what happens if the width is set in em. The benefit is that the navigation bar takes up the right amount of space to make each link fit neatly (if it is counted right) - there is another example of this at http://validator.w3.org (or was last time I looked). I think Emmanuelle has also done some work on using absolute positioning styles to achieve this effect, with the added bonus that in CSS-capable browsers the links are there all the time.

Can you share with us some ore? ;-) cheers Charles On Sat, 16 Feb 2002, Emmanuelle Gutiérrez y Restrepo wrote: <style> .main { float:right ; width:75%} .nav { background-color: gold; width:8em; } </style> This work fine in Ie 6.0, Netscape 4.5, Netscape 6.2, and in Opera 5.0 Regards, Emmanuelle ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles McCathieNevile" <charles@w3.org> To: "Bert Bos" <bbos@w3.org> Cc: "WAI IG" <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org>; "Nadia Heninger" <nadiah@uclink.berkeley.edu> Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 6:26 PM Subject: RE: FAQ - two columns using CSS I made a test page: http://www.w3.org/2002/02/css-float-test cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France) -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
