Sorry mate,

I didn't mean to cause the thread to drift off topic.

Unfortunately as someone with next-to-no knowledge of CSS himself, I'm in no position to answer the two questions posed. Someone, I'm sure, will be along to help answer your questions shortly.

Good luck!

It all I can tell you is the best thing to do is to pratices with those tags and see how they affect your page. I am going though this css tutorial from html goodies with the help of that first link I gave you to explain what they are doing. It may say it is for newbie but they don't explain it well for a newbie in my opinion. I printed the whole thing out which was about 21 pages. And I'm creating each web page so I can see the differents in them as they add more and more css to each sample. Now if your in a hurry you can just cut and paste but your not going to really learn it like that. Take the time and type each web page out and use the first link I gave you if they start doing something you don't understand. Good luck.

 

I tried to find a good simple explanation and came up with this post on aother forum. it seems to explain it nicely..

Thanks blue! Reps for that link.

 

You're most welcome and thanks!!

 

the <div> tag is for 'divisions' of the document, site, so that you can seperate them into logical sections.
These are then used with CSS to style & position those sections, eg your nav section, content etc, where they would be:
<div class="nav"></div>
& your CSS would be:
<style>
.nav { position & style attributes }
</style>

Its also best to use lower-case for all your tags, as that is what is required for xhtml & xml.

 

I'm late but... frames are awful! good for some things but for most of the majority of the time don't use them!

Tables or CSS would be a lot better.
