Essay_3col: From Markrain's "Essay"

Welcome!

Hi oswd.org,

This Template is an update to Markrain's "Essay" Template ("Link"). The top menu might look strange in oswd's "view frame", but looks great otherwise. It does validate as Xhtml Strict. Also, please take a peek at my own designs, "here".

Another oswd member was needing a 3 column version. Well, an email to Markrain produced a reply that I might resubmit this update. Well, here it is. The original two column was done flow positioned, but the three is done float positioned. I used outer divs for positioning, and inner divs for pad/borders (no margin). The unordered lists look slightly different in Firefox, always do, not my doing.

Regards,
whowrotewhat (Mikey)

Markrain's Original Text Begins:

Essay is my third design submitted to OSWD. It is so titled because I have an essay due in imminently, but instead of working on that, I decided to make a new site design!

 

Oligatory 'About the Design' spasce filler

I simply felt the urge to create a design. I can't say why for certain. I feel that this design is very similar to ones I've seen before... the colour scheme as well as style. Possibly an influence from RedHat, or from some designs on OSWD. If this mimics a design you produced, I apologise. Blame my subconscious for liking your work so much!

UPDATE! -- Thanks to a knowledgeable and helpful OSWD visitor, this design is now sans tables!

The code for the main menu isn't as I intended. I hate using tables in general, but I know of no CSS/<div> combination that'll produce exactly what you see here. If you know how, please do email me, I'd love to know!
