Isit me or was that a fart at 4:00?

[sale666]

i dont get it left and right and main will slide in? dont they go one under another by default?

[alco19357]

@sale666 yes, by default they go one on top of another. but since he is using float left, the left will then be forced to the left, and the right will be forced to the right (float right was used). no float was used on main so main "slides" up after the left since that's what happens by default. now, if something is added after mainbody, then it will be placed under main body since mainbody doesn't use float e(ex ample: footer)

@alco19357 Ive done exactly everything he mentioned and my main -body section site underneath and over top of right and left, cant fiqure it out?

I tried following your tutorial but when I preview the site in Joomla I get this message:

500 - JHtml: :icon not supported. File not found.

You may not be able to visit this page because of:

an out-of-date bookmark/favourite

a search engine that has an out-of-date listing for this site

a mistyped address

I've only started with Joomla 1.6 a few days ago...any help?!

@arel3 If it were that easy... then there wouldn't be a whole industry of template creators. HTML is NOT easy. That's why commercial templates exist for those not willing/capable of learning. To be perfectly frank, I'm glad that it's not that easy, that way I can feed my family ;)

@normdouglas

Very true. HTML is easy for me because I've been at it for 20 years or more.

Feeding my family is why I want to learn how to do it as well. I guess I have to figure it out.

haha I'm getting old and don't have the determination to figure things out as much as I did 10 years ago.

Some hints would be appreciated.

Test in a standards compliant browser first and then sort out IE's idiosyncrasies afterward, not the other way around.

[glofalcon]

can't wait to get to the joomla part in the next tutorials. but I like the ground up approach.

Thanks for teaching me CSS. Where's the Joomla! Instruction?

[cyrylski]

Why did you use the solution with 155 margins for #mainbody div and used floats on both #left and #right to keep the on the edges instead of using three independently left-floating divs as column wrappers?

Does it have any advantage over the simple 3-divs-3-columns solution that I don't know of? :)

ist besser im ggs zu teil 1. etwas genauer und läßt dem zuschauer zeit, sich den Code anzusehen.
