I need to convert a DreamWeaver Template, found at [url]http://www.jewishtreasure.com/Templates/JT10.dwt[/url], fulla tables, to CSS and I’m having no luck. Could somebody give me a hand?
@DaveSWNov 19.2004 — #looks like a fixed width center column.
so to get you started you need a single container div with all your content. Apply margin: 0 auto; to the div itself, and use text-align: center on the body element in order to get it to work in IE.
After that I can't see to easily what it's meant to look like, so maybe a screenshot?
@greenberauthorNov 19.2004 — #I'm brand new to CSS. The objective is to remove all tables, especially from the template. The web site I need to convert -- template crazy -- is http://www.jewishtreasures.com .
What is the CSS for creating a 2x2 "table" with the 1,1 cell empty but used as place holder; the 1,2 cell will be a header, the 2,1 is a navbar, and 2,2 is content.
Isn't there a tables-->CSS conversion utility for helping out yutzes lile me?

Forget grid layout. You're describing three divs; heading, navigation and content. That's pretty trivial. Go to the [URL=http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/layoutomatic.php]Layout-o-matic[/URL], get some raw material to play with and start fiddling.

[B]Why Firefox and no IE? [/B][/QUOTE] Internet Explorer doesn't correctly interperet CSS, so there are many things you can accidently do in IE that won't render correctly in CSS-privy browsers such as Mozilla and Opera. However, if you get the page it work correctly in Firefox more than likely it will look correct in IE as well, with maybe the need of a couple tweaks.
