[tim]

hi, i'm a student and am having trouble not with design but really with mixing the two code/function and design i can think of a site layout but when it comes to putting it together i seem a little confused.. i am reading up on css and already know a bit of html.. for example this below is what i currently want to do.. simple but yet why can i not figure out the easiest way to code it? i would like to do it in css with not tables if this is possible..

HEADING 3navagation buttons

some text justified image
and sort of in a column
style like this some
text justified and sort
of in a column style
like this etc etc

3navagation buttons

how can i do this? is it possible to do it easily with css only?

i got the text how i wanted last night by just making a p class for it and making the margin top, left and right all different sizes and putting justify until the text was sort of in a column like i wanted but this probably isn't the right way to do it is it? then of course when i t came to putting the image files where i wanted ?? :( no clue? the only way i cam close was to mae a 2 column table right side-text with cell padding and the left with the pic.. but had a little trouble with it.... is this possible in css and if so can someone give me some help on doing it in simple terms please? :(

should have none that example wasn't going to work...

the nav buttons and image files are supposed to be across the page to the left :(

I'm kind of confused about what you mean... are you looking for something with this sort of layout:

well since i can get the text pretty much how i want it by using margin properties. .lets just say i want to know how i can position an image file anywhere on the page using only css?

float might be what you are looking for, or absolutely positioned div's. It is worth going through tutorials, trying things, and reading about css -or buy a good book on it. It took all of the above before it started to make sense to me, and am still learning. There are quite a few threads here on the subject also. The short answer is you can do almost anything with just css. Looking at the css for existing sites can also be helpful, view source and find the link to the css file, and request it. (or save as the web page to a local folder)
