Help needed for what should be basic...

[dbov22]

Hi, I'm in the process of learning HTML and CSS etc, been following guides and
trying to use the code editor in DW as opposed to design window...

Just a quick one, I need to put together a website for myself, it's very simple

3 parts to each page a banner, a left links bar and then the main content..

------------------
banner
------------------
|
link | main page
|
|

i have the banner in place and have set up div tags for the container, banner, links and main page,

I want the links to be 100px wide and the main page to be 868px wide, i've been trying to put in the float command but the main page still sits under the links div...

any ideas for a noob? (hey at least i'm trying though!!)

Thank in advance

Try the tutorial here. It takes you through how to create a 2 column CSS layout with full width headers and footers.
