Topic: Punbb Portal Problem!!

Ok im recently working on dividing my punbb portal in to 3 different coloums: A left side, a container, and a right side.

Here is my code....as you can see i have decided to use percentages cause its easier.

My error is this.....you can see it by visiting my portal: www.fatal-gfx.com/index.php

heres the code in my tpl file:

<style type="text/css">
    #left {
        width: 20%;
        float: left;
    }
#container {
        width: 60%;
        margin-left: 20%;
        margin-right: 20%;
        
}
 #right {
        width: 20%;
        float: right;
    }
</style>

Could someone tell me what im doing wrong or what has gone wrong?

Re: Punbb Portal Problem!!

1. The floated columns need to come before the container in the markup unless you go for a negative margin solution. The correct order is
- left
- right
- container

Get rid of the margins on the container.

2. <marquee> is not valid xhtml. In fact I'm not sure its valid anything anymore (if it ever was).

3. Your fieldsets must have legends.

Oh! and if you must use percentages, remember IE can't count. It thinks that 20% + 20% + 60% = 101% (or maybe even 102%) so you have to give it some breathing room.

Re: Punbb Portal Problem!!

You still don't have the left and right columns before the container. I'm talking about the markup not the css.

It's a perfectly valid nuisance. wink
