Mmm. So much for pushing the envelope. Two late nights of hacking and I’m still fiddling with my experimental CSS layout. Not only have I failed to get it exactly how I want it, but I’ve also failed to get it even close enough to this to replace what I’ve got at present. Getting a reliable sidebar on the right margin is most of the problem.
Now, I could certainly change my formatting to make it easier to do in CSS, but that seems to defeat the object. CSS is supposed to give you more flexibility, not less. And it does so, but I can’t make it do so reliably across more than one browser.
So I’ll keep playing, but for now, the basic formatting here is CSS but the layout stays as tables. There’s lots of tasteful CSS layout here to divert your attention…
