Hello,

I want my homepage to look different so I'm trying to do this: I want to position three boxes from left to right (one left, one in the middle one at the right side).

I just noticed that using float:left for all three boxes (and using margins to the right of the boxes) does the trick...However, I'm a bit scared (being a beginner with CSS) ;). Will this cause me any trouble or is it fine?

thanks!

If someone has a very narrow screen, do you want to enforce a left-right scrollbar, or do you mind if they then begin to stack vertically?

umm....I don't know to be honest. Which one would be better from a usability point of view? I guess scrolling from left to right would probably be better.

Usability sees left-right scrolling as a negative... just think how difficult this forum is to use when threads are too wide across the page.
