Im getting really confused....
My code is as follows.
 
<div id="header></div>
<div id="navigation"></div> | this floats left
<div id="main"></div> | this floats right
<div id="footer"></div> | this is the problem i cant see this unless i type something in. Im assuming its hidden behind the two floating. What am i doing wrong.
Thanks

Just give your #footer a height, that should do the trick

Are you using a CSS reset? If not, place the code below into the top of your CSS file. It may throw some of your elements out of alignment but once they are all realigned, you'll receive a great deal less incompatibility issues. Also, whenever you make a new website, make sure you include it at a very early stage.
 
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td, article, aside, canvas, details, embed, figure, figcaption, footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, output, ruby, section, summary, time, mark, audio, video { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; font-size: 100%; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; } /* HTML5 display-role reset for older browsers */ article, aside, details, figcaption, figure, footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, section { display: block; } body { line-height: 1; } ol, ul { list-style: none; } blockquote, q { quotes: none; } blockquote:before, blockquote:after, q:before, q:after { content: ''; content: none; } table { border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0; }

Your CSS website is much better! If by "buttons" you're referring to your navigation, there's nothing wrong with it - it's nice and simple.

Hi Flowdy, Ill be brutaly honest, you would be best in the long run to go back to the start and code without using tables. Adding CSS style to tables will always cause you problems as they only acept a limited amount of CSS coding. The best solution is to create Divs and assign the CSS to them, you will have a lot more freedom when desigingn if you msater coding using Divs with CSS. check out the 1stoptutorials website, there is a full video series on how to code a CSS website from scratch. Hope this helps.

Just noticed that this forum doesnt have somewhere to through up a sneak peak of your latest work. I have seen it on many other forums and find it dead handy to show off your latest work, even if its only something small. it gives people the chance to get some criticism or praise on there latest work! We should use this especially cos this forum has the 'attach a file' option which is dead handy!

Lets see what your doing!
