I just started messing around with websites again for the first time in a decade, hoping to work my way into it with the website for the company I currently work for. Back in the day I pretty much used tables all the time, as it was what I was taught. Now that Im back into it every thing seems to be CSS, and I figure move on with new. The problem is I cant seem to get them to behave. Im also trying to build a fluid website.. may have been to ambitious of me.
I uploaded what I am currently working on here
http://russtcreations.netai.net/
a little info
I validated both the CSS and the HTML, and they both passed
I used a combination of the two tutorials to build the drop down menus
http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/tutorial/
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/horizdropdowns/
The problems as I see them
The #header divs back-ground color is supposed to be white, but nothing shows up. I think this is a positioning co***ict, but I'm not sure.
The dropdown menus have some problems. I used the two tutorials because when I finished the first one "seoconsultants" and checked what I had built in IE6, the menu didn't work, then I tested the one in the tutorial, and it didn't work either:cold:
Then I found the other one and it did work in IE6. So I tried to modify the code I had already written to work with the new system. I seem to have gotten it working "kinda" but it still doesn't work in IE6. I can not figure out what I did wrong.
The other problem with it is that it doesn't seem to want to center in the page. all the other divs center fine but I have never been able to get the navigation to stay in the middle. IDK.
Any help appreciated as I need to get this template done so that I can move on with the rest of the template.
