IMHO total css layout isn't all that hard, it's just frustrating, like the
first time you try a "stretchy" table layout only harder. ;-)

A really helpful tool is Screen Calipers - I got that from Microsoft Add-In
Page link.
I find a combo of CSS & Table layout works well... I dunno CSS well enough
yet to attempt a total css solution.

| Hi Susan,
| Personally I find it too difficult to do a "liquid" layout with .css and
| prefer a table (marked up with .css) for this.
|
| I don't mind doing a .css layout at a fixed width though.
|
| as for planning, I've always used a sheet of paper in "landscape"
| orientation and a black grease pencil (like the kind they use in the deli
to
| mark packages). I guess it's a quirk of mine. ;-)
|
| you're supposed to be able to scan in a drawing into FrontPage 2003 and
use
| it as a background for figuring out the layout. I haven't tried it though
| since after a grease pencil and thirty or forty sheets of paper I don't
need
| to see the drawing any more. ;-)
|
| Take a look at
www.alistapart.com for some good css info and links to
more.
| FWIW, my favorite book on .css is at
www.sitepoint.com called HTML utopia,
| it's one of several I've bought and I can't say enough about how good the
| book is!
