OK, this is a simple 3 column html page layout with 5 sections.
Section 1: Header
Section 2: Left Column
Section 3: Center Column
Section 4: Right Column
Section 5: Footer
The CSS
Now dealing with column driven webpages using css is a pain.
Say you want to add a border to one of the section. Well you can, but it will throw off the layout of the page.
So if you add a border to the Left or Right or Center column, you will have to adjust the Margin of the CSS for that element as well.
Section 1: Header
Section 2: Left Column
Section 3: Center Column
Section 4: Right Column
Section 5: Footer
The CSS
Code: Select all
The HTML
<style type="text/css">
body{
margin:0;
padding:0;

#wrapper{
width: 840px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#header{
