  Old  Tableless Project - Typical IE

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you guys could give me some guidance, I am starting to build a template mainly because I want to learn to code fluently, I have basic skills in tableless so I am having difficulties,

Template

Please view in IE as that is where the problem lies, as you can see the left column has been thrown out of the required space. (Check in FF for correct version)

I was wondering what I have done or what I should to correct the problem; any help would be appreciated,

Kind Regards,
BoxedPixels.

That's the most annoying thing about dealing with CSS..

It should...

Looking at this again though, it doesn't matter because if you want to put anything next to that left column you have to restructure the code anyways. If you want a left and a right column, as I assume you do, you need to have them inside a wraping div to contain them like this
Code:
<div id="contaner div">
<div id="left side"></div>
<div id="right side"></div>
</div>
Without the outerdiv, the code breaks, I can't remember the technical reasons why, probably because there's no boundaries set to float to.

Try using this
Code:
#Wrapper{
	width: 100%;
	float: left; /* So it expands vertically to fit content*/
	border: 1px solid; // so you can see it while you test it
}
#LeftCol {
	width: 209px;
	float: left;
	border: 1px solid #f00; // so you can see it while you test it
}
#RightCol {
	float: left;
	border: 1px solid #f00; // so you can see it while you test it
}

<!-- put this html under the banner div and add the inner elements after thie structure is working -->
<div id="Wrapper">
     <div id="leftCol">Left Side</div>
     <div id="rightCol">Right Side</div>
</div>
That should give you a working left and right column under the banner div, and if you want to add moe, just define widths and copy the $sideCol css code.

As for the rest of your documents, it's got other issues. The doctye says html but you're not folowing it correctly; you need / at the end of your <img> tags. You've also closed a <body> tag without opening it.
