keturahuriel Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 [sOLVED]I don't really know how to use CSS, and the tutorials on here and three other sites are USELESS FOR ME! Please help! I need an explanation of how to use it. I have access to all and know some code for it, but I have no freaking clue how to apply it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_illusions Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 What is it your having trouble with in particular? No good shouting "they're all useless!", unless you can pin point why you find them useless.Explain what your trying to do and why you cant do this, or why you cant understand the tutorials and then we can help you in getting your css problems:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keturahuriel Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Trying to reconstruct this site with CSS instead of using nested tables. Only for one reason- I think that CSS would be more effective and easier to manage. So, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 The modern option to old-fashioned table layout is div layout.Divs are squares or rectangles that you can position anywhere in your document to hold content.The basic positioning methods are vertical stacking (the default) and horizontal floating. Each of these results in divs that are sized by and positioned according to content, so you never have to think about numbers.Serious positioning requires use of the CSS position, top, and left attributes. To this you can add height and width if you know in advance how big you want something to be.Divs can be nested in divs just as table elements and tables can be nested in bigger tables. This allows you to position a column of images in one div, while another div might just hold text, and another div might just hold background color and act as a divider.I hope that's a start.

keturahuriel Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hmmm... But I'm using the div tag/attributes in with my nested tables. Is there any way to reconstruct/clean up my site's code with css and div? Because my nested tables are starting to confuse me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
