For those learning style sheets and use of the <div> I have put up this no
thrills page purely as a demo.
Sorry, no ads, no images. Just makin it as simple as they come.

Please, no. At 1024x768, it occupies the left half or so of my
monitor.
At 800x600 it has a horizontal scrollbar. (Firebird)
There's <br>'s in the <body> and obsolete <center> elements. Drop the
use
of px; switch to em or %.
New documents should be at least 4.01 Strict.

BTW, [No Title] defeats the purpose of a title element.

Newbies beware: This site should better be labeled as a demo of what
*not*
to do with CSS. There are at least half a dozen things that IMHO
simply
should not be done, the most glaring being specifying the size of
everything
in pixels.
Cheers

Richard said:A pixel is a defined element of every monitor.
An "em" is based on the width of the letter "m" which varies in accordance
to the font being used.
People who are new to CSS should use pixels until they are more familiar
with what each of the possibilities do to a layout.
Why?
I personally prefer using "mm" as it is more defined and is the same
measurement on every machine regardless of resolution used.
We all have to start learning somewhere, and what I put up is the primary
basic building block of learning.
When you teach a child to read, is he reading "War and peace" by the end
of the day?
Were you such an expert the very first page you designed?
Tough. It's only a demo site.

avoid. Therefore it isn't a good resource to learn from, and people will
learn bad habits.

Just what I saw with several browsers.
BTW, [No Title] defeats the purpose of a title element.
I guess we feel a demo should at least be well-formed and display good
authoring habits.
Michael, would you join me for some New York Extra-Sharp Cheddar and a
nice chianti. Richard is buying. <g>

that it fails miserably with certain browsers?
