correct or not correct?

am i doing this correctly? The whole using css for design.

So far there is no real content. just working on design, and it works in ie
and netscape.. just not the old netscape. but i could care less about old
netscape

But i was thinking.. once i put content in. won't older browsers that can't
handle the css just show the content in order without any design? And isn't
that what usability and all that is all about?

One more question.. how do i position the bottom bars and links to be
relative to top area (the one that say "content here!")..

so that when i put more content in it.. it will expand lower.. and the items
under it will just relativly position themselves after it..

is there a way?

maybe. browsers are supposed to ignore CSS if they don't know what to
do but they don't. you need to hide the css from problem browsers or
use those methods to present alternative css.

hiding CSS from crappy browsers:

no. the last resort is supplying a plain html page but a plain html
page can still have accessibility/usability problems.

i have no idea. i had a look at your page in IE6, moz1.4 and opera7.2
and each browser displayed differently. only opera displayed any text
"grey purple" which didn't do anything but change color on hover. your
html and css are also invalid which doesn't help.

I've been working on it all afternoon.. you might have hit it in one of it's
development states.. take a look at it now.

ok.. now that i have made my css validate.. i had to take out the "position:
normal" .. and when i did that.. the width of the 2 .. "div.nav" is longer
then 100% which it's set at..
