Positioning Elements – Fixed – Absolute – Relative:
Positioning elements on a page with CSS is extremely flexible, and really can be a lot of fun to play with.
Personally, I like the idea of a fixed-position header and/or navigation area to keep the Company/Site name and navigation in view at all times – much like the old “frames” layouts used to do, but without the old “trapped in frames” issues that went with it.
But I was less than delighted with the overall effect. So… I decided to try a fixed right column instead.
Better, but…if the page was viewed in a smaller browser window than the one I was using, the right column, and the page in general, became unuseable. ~NOT the effect I was looking for.
But I fixed it!
