Basically I've just got advanced enough with html and CSS to the point where I know how to do stuff like:

p {font-family: "x";
}

Also, I'm planning to create a guide using html (not on how to use html, but USING html :)) so I wanna be able to create a menu bar on the left, accompanied by a header (which will be a .png that I'll create) and possibly another menu bar on the right.

Just to get things overly complicated for good measure I'm trying to use the system where I create a .css file and just apply it to all the pages. I'm sure you guys know what I mean :)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you seen the styles at http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/index.html yet? They kind of sound like what you are asking about.

Ok I got one but now I want to know how to place it in, I mean obviously I can change the links but how do I place stuff around it?

Hard to say what out seeing what you have but there should be spots in place for you to add stuff.

All I have so far is this (http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/menusix.html) menu. Now I want it to be on the left but about 50pixels down from the top and 20 or so from the left of the page.

Then of course I want to know how I use the rest of the body, because as far as I know (which isn't much, trust me) this thing isn't a separate column.

Ok I'm a bit lost...you just have the script? Not your html, body, etc tags? Differnt scripts go in differnt places. If you are needed css tags for everything else you can check out http://www.lissaexplains.com/css.html All css scripts goes in between the head tags. You can use CSS for all your postioning requirments. If you need a example for how one css file can create differnt looks you can look at http://csszengarden.com/

Kind of yeah. I'm trying to make one .css file to apply to my .htm files, like in Method Three (http://www.html.net/tutorials/css/lesson2.asp).

That bit appears to be ok, but, the menu. I can't seem to reposition it and I don't know how text ig going to fit around it :s

yep, I know what you mean!


<link rel="stylesheet" href="YOUR STYLE SHEET HERE.css" type="text/css">

For future reference, it's called an external style sheet. Really handy for appying over a whole site instead of manually changing the CSS in each individual page

Yeah that's the one!!

Anyways thanks for the help amy, I sorted it now, I just had to tinker about.
