CSS questions

[Tom Loughlin]

I am new to CSS and was wondering if this web page is using CSS to arrange the
layout of the page: [url]http://avid.com/solutions/film/[/url] When i download the page
and open it in dreamweaver the page appears verticle, but on screen the
sections are positioned diffrently. If this is infact CSS, what part of the
CSS options allow you to create a page like this....meaning, just creating
portions seperatly and assigning them positions. Hope this questions is not
to confusing, thanks,

Yes the page is using CSS. In fact it uses quite a few different ones, with
the CSS stored in external files and called into the page. That is what the
lines in the code like this are doing.

<link href="/stylesheets/footer.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

If you have not loaded the css files down to your machine then DW will
render it as it finds the code on the page.

I suggest that you work through the series of articles on CSS positioning in
the MM Devnet to get a better handle on how to use CSS.
