Re: DOCTYPE

Gary,

I have tried various things and all have problems with IE6 and NN7, except the partial DOCTYPE declaration version on 'csstest.htm' page on IE6.

But... after looking closer at Al's examples on PVII, it looks like there is a better solution that would follow after his QuickDraw MacFly example. http://www.projectseven.com/grafitti/jan2003/cssdirect_page2.htm

Looks like using static layers(Divisions, not layers {div's} actually) is simpler, and you can nest other layers or Divisions within. In his MacFly example, he made a 'sidebar' Division a nested static Division with a float (for positioning)and gave it a safe place on the page by defining the 'p' margins of the nested 'content' Division to coincide with the size of 'sidebars' content.

I guess if you make the layers static therefore becoming Divisions they will by default be 100% in width? -- because the content Division has no size property, just margins.

So... Div's without x and y properties are static. Meaning you don't give them x and Y in a #rule either. Static = Division (div) not a layer. And static div's by default will take up 100% of the window it appears? And they are actually different than layers (maybe no z-index to consider?) -- they are truely Divisions of the page.

Do static div's have a default z-index of 1, or no z-index at all?

Am I getting warmer here?
