From what i can see on LE.com, you have to do a whole new CSS layout for each page??? Is there way that you link link to #top and #left but be able to change #center without having to copy and paste the entire code?
If not, how is this better than frames???

i would not compare CSS to frames.
SSI or PHP includes perhaps, but not CSS.
CSS will format coding, not create seperate window areas that will change upon a link.

as for part of your question, try putting the first two areas into an external style sheet and link to it. the #center part you can put on each page...

That's what i was thinking... but i wasn't sure how i was going to put the navigation into a style sheet, as it isn't CSS. Is it possible to link to two style sheets??? One for normal CSS and one for the includes?

You can link to as many includes as you want. I have includes for my banner ads, my footer, my header, and my menu.

How do i do this? Can you give me an example? And how can i include the things i want, after i have ended the CSS code?? I just need to be told how to, and then i should be Ok.

Hey, i got a reply by Lissa! :D

I'm still really confused about how to do this. I understand that i need to write it in a different style sheet and link to it, but when doing this on a normal page you have to end head and begin body... but i didn't think it was possible to do that in a style sheet. I can see how to link to the top and left once the sheet is written, but i need help writing the actual sheet... please help :)
Ha, trying seeing this from a simple mind like mine...

lol, i have php includes for everything! even a little tiny link at the bottom saying "go to tekp.com"

lol.


CSS just controls the style, no layout, without HTML or any other markup language CSS woul cease to exist, it works alongside HTML or XHTML or whatever, and cannot function on its own.

HTML = content, basic layout, the "meat" of the webpage
CSS = the style aspects, font sizes, background colors, all the things that page your pages razzly dazzly.
