I think I've fixed my problem there though.

I still can't figure out how to have a nested "div" on the right hand side though. Where the text from the middle section wraps underneath the text in the right aligned DIV.

An simple example of what I'm talking about is attached to this post.


Just make the nested div float right.

I have my code set for that but it doesn't go to the top of the page.

Even if you could get it to work, good luck making it cross-browser compatible. I converted the new massassi design to CSS the other day and it worked fine in opera and firefox on linux, but then on windows it was screwed up in ie and firefox. Isn't that nice how firefox isn't even consistent!? I say stick with tables for positioning, because this is the EXACT SAME PROBLEM I had 3 years ago when we did the conversion. The problem is, whoever is making the web standards doesn't take into account the fact that 90% of the internet likes something like a 2 or 3 column layout in which the text DOESN'T wrap and we want the columns to extend the full length of the page, not just to the end of the content. There are entire sites devoted to a zillion "hacks" to get a 3 column layout working, and they are *all* hacks and none of them work that great.

Josh: Put your right content inside the center content at the beginning of the paragraph.
Code: 
<div id="centercontent">
<div id="rightcontent">Hey</div>
<p>
There's no negotiating with ter...
</div>
...
Yes?

It works with both Firefox and IE, too.

I've attached the solution.
[edit]Damn, Ictus beat me to it![/edit]



The only time I have cross-browser compatibility problems is when I try to make it work in Opera as well. Usually, I can get it to work in IE and Firefox, but if it works in both of those, it usually doesn't work in Opera.

Damn I never thought about that Ictus. I thought since I was telling it where to be positioned it didn't matter what it was in the document. It's been too long since I've done this :(.

Well that line of thinking solves a bunch of other stuff I'm working on. :)

Thanks guys!
