Re: FAQ - two columns using CSS

Indeed, Charles is right, in:
http://www.rpd.es/boletin/bol43/legesta.html
I have a page with text in two columns created with CSS:
 .colLeft {width: 49%; float: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 0%;}

.colRight {padding: 0% 0% 0% 1%;}

.colEnd {clear: both; }

It works well in Netscape 4.5 and 6.2, Ie 5.0 and 6.0, Operates 5.02, but
not in Amaya.

And I am making tests for the remodeling of the SIDAR Website using a column
for the menu, another for the text and a floating division to include texts
or illustrative graphics:
http://www.sidar.org/prueba2/prueba3.htm

It works more or less well in: Netscape 4.5 and 6.2.1, Ie 6.0, Operates
5.02, but not in Amaya.

for the menu: DIV.left
for the content: DIV.body
for the ilustration: class = ilustra

Emmanuelle

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.

(on http://www.sidar.org - the SIDAR site. Can you share with us some ore?
;-)

  This work fine in Ie 6.0, Netscape 4.5, Netscape 6.2, and in Opera 5.0
