Acidic, Jop, CB... And anyone else

Hi,

Just read the discussion on tables vs divs.. I'd go with the divs. Its less code.

Anyways, as Jop knows I had a quick mess around with firefox last night and tried to redo the layout the way I wanted using divs, just set borders to see areas and positioning etc.

Below are the three links to these attempts. Firefox seems to do weird things when I float elements though so I would like some advice on whether I should float everything or not float anything.

I hope that gives you an idea how to make your others. Please also note that you used Xhtml code while you declared your document as HTML 4.01 transitional. Always validate and fix all errors.

Enjoy!
