I was wondering if there are some css guru’s in here that could give me some pointers on how you do a site layout that works well with all browsers. I am a little newer and trying to self teach myself css. I can seem to figure out most things fairly well except IE6. That is what my question mostly pertains to. Seems like whenever I do a part of a css layout I can look at it in firefox, opera, safari, and a few others and it looks fine. Heck even in IE7 with a few minor tweaks it looks decent, but IE6 is not even close. So in short I was just wondering if there is some good documentation on this problem and how to coupe with it or some good feedback from some people here. Thanks |

Hi Brandon – can be a bit overwhelming, and I’m no “guru” — but real gurus have helped me! Regarding your two specific questions, though:
Others will chime in with their favourite resources, too, I hope. But for CSS, two further collections to visit: CSS, Accessibility, and Standards Links, and the Web Developers Handbook. Make sure you scroll down on both of them! |

No div, no float, no clear, no hack* If you really want cross-browser support and your design doesn’t need to be pixel perfect, this really can be an interesting place to learn how to use CSS with good, clean markup. It could certainly help you learn to control aspects of your layout with CSS quicker, afterwhich, you could then learn the float and clear properties which in my opinion, do cause alot of the indescrepencies between browsers. Just be sure that you are not tempted by the ease of CSS hacks or IE-specific CSS … this is just plain lazy, and whatever anyone else says, without justifiable reasons tends to hinder the performance and efficiency of a web page. Just look at all those website that have since broken because browsers discouraged CSS hack support … don’t let that be you. Now that you are armed with the links that others have provided … go get ‘em! |

I am no CSS guru, so i tend to use the yaml css framework . If you take the simple project example in conjunction with the excellent builder you can do some very quick prototyping. It tends to be a bit heavy on the number of divs but you can always optimize it a bit for production sites. |
