RE: FN-FORUM: CSS Help

In CSS, more is less. The less CSS attributes that you can get away with
using, the better. Don't' overcomplicate your CSS by adding loads of
different styles and tweaks for everything.

To handle minimum height, I've (so far) found that doing;

div {display:block; height:400px; min-height:400px;)
body > div{height:auto;)

Seems to work. The first bit sets the height and IE happily extends the
block out if it's higher than 400px. IE ignores min-height in the first
div declaration. The body > div selector only words for Moz and it
resets the height to auto so that the block will auto-expand for Moz.

Don't know how well it works for Opera and to be honest, I don't care ;)

start again...

simply:





forms & stuff





give body text-align: center and #container text-align: left and
margin: 0 auto; and it will centre on the page.

take away all the position absolutes and the header will push the
content down, the content will push the footer down.

TBH I'm struggling to see why you've complicated your layout so much..

;o)
