Hello I am new to this CSS. I normally would use Frontpage to create a website however I am looking for a more streamlined professional look. My question is this...
I want to have a page with a header and 2 columns. The header section would have an image and the left column would be my menu area and the right column would be my content. The head and left column would always be the same for all pages, but the content area will be different.How do I configure the css to do this. I have looked at the template here on this site and I just can't figure out how to add my images and links. As I have said I am very much a newbie in the CSS dept.
Also I want to have a background image for the bulk of the page, but a background color for the menu and content areas. Does this make sense?

Thanks for any help :)

CSS is only for formatting things (like style and such). You can't build a webpage with just CSS. You would have to use either DIVs or tables to do what you are talking about, I believe.

you can use css to create/format div areas to create the layout. that's no problem.

for the areas that stay the same / change part... you may want to look into using PHP or SSI INCLUDES or you can look at doing an IFRAME for the part that changes upon a link click. do a quick search to find a bunch of discussions on both of those and in the tutorials from lissaexplains too.
