Just a quick note to Ming, I was/am in support of your suggestion, and was just quoting Lorelle assessment which I believe is wrong.
When I did what you suggested it worked like a charm! again thanks
The CSS Zen Garden thing is no doubt very cool. But blogs have a very clear difference in specification: We do not know how long our cols are. That rules out a lot of CSS 2 position absolute stuff.
No offense taken by anyone. Discussion forces me to make sure what I said was correct (and depending on the night that can be a 50-50 proposition).
Personally, I intend to master floats. I also expect to accomplish this shortly before the sun burns out 😉
Well good luck. And if you do let us know how you did it 🙂
Yes, there are solutions to the flexible-column-length problem, which exist out on a half-dozen sites on the net. I’ve been working on a hacked 3-col Kubrick, and because I was being ‘forced’ into a pre-designed CSS, I ended up requiring the left sidebar come before the content. I might try to address that again, but didn’t want to spend much time. 😉
Fixed width, abs-positioned layouts actually make things much simpler — CHAITGEAR originally was fixed-width sidebars but fluid content block. It was too hard to ‘control’ the look of the site on different machines, so I went to a completely fixed layout. Easier to manage. 😉

Or you could just install either Trident or Vesuvius.
