[thelist] Layout Problem - Help Please

[Philip Weller]

Hello, Ron.

By the looks of the layout, my guess is that you (or whoever determined the
layout) are not expecting to have the content overflow any of the boxes. If
this is correct and a liquid design is unnecessary, you should be able to
accomplish this without tables using absolutely positioned <div>s with
widths and heights specified.

Unless I'm missing something this is a workable solution; although I make no
claims that it is the best one.

Greetings All,

I have been struggling for 2 days with a layout I have to code. It needs 
blocks of content layed out like this:

----------------------------------------------
|           |                                |
|           |                                |
|           |                                |
|           |                                |
|           |                                |
|           |                                |
|           |                                |
|           |--------------------------------|
|           |               |                |
|-----------|               |                |
|           |               |                |
|           |               |                |
|-----------|---------------|                |
|                           |                |
|                           |                |
|                           |                |
----------------------------------------------
 
 I have been able to get everything except the lower left block in place 
and working in 3 different browsers.

Any ideas on how to make this work, tables or tabless, greatly 
appreciated. Code is html, no php, asp or any such involved.

Thanks,
Ron D.
