I'm brand new to the whole CSS thing, but I still designed my first all CSS layout in a couple hours. This is what I came up with so far:

Any comments (good or bad) would help out tremendously. Thank you for your time .

well first of all I suggest you take a look at it in internet explorer. And you'll feel the pain we all feel when that miserable excuse for a browser forces us to put our heads down for another 2 hours just to make things display right for most of the web population.

People say "follow web standards to ensure the site is compatible with all browsers" but its not true.

It is true...well it should be. it's just that that statement assumes all browsers interpret web standards correctly. which IE doesn't.

meenstreek: I would help you out but I just finished quite majorly updating the PHP on a website I'm doing for a client and my head hurts too much to look at coding anymore tonight sorry

Should be fairly easy to fix for IE.

IE doesn't recognise parent>child associations so you can hide things from it in the CSS.

Here are a few things to try:

in #content add:
float: right;

Then beneath that, in a new definition, add:
html>body #content {
float: none;
}

This way IE will pick up the float:right but compliant browsers will get the float:none.

That's probably not your cure but it should give you a little extra knowledge to cure the problem. Maybe try re-sizing one of your columns - IE sometimes adds 3px to boxes and if your two columns add up to more than the size of your wrapper then the right column will be forced to appear beneath the left. So you could try different sizes in the main #content definition then use the html>body trick to give the right size to other browsers.

You could also try a negative top margin on the right column to pull it up e.g. margin-top: -400px; then once again clearing this for other browsers with html>body #content { margin-top: 0; }

Also you might like to look at using a UL to format your navigation.

The float: right; in the #content definition worked wonderfully . I also added that new definition to make it correct for all other legit browsers. Thank you so much for the support!
I just started reading about the UL forat for navagation bars and I will get into that new concept today.
I think I found my new favorite techsupport forum hehe.

Hey! Thats not a bad start.

I like it so far

Keep up the good work. Maybe lighten the navigation up a bit.
