'BORDER TRICK' Doesn't work??

[Jason_Michael]

Check out my homepage and under the link 'problem with border' is a simple page using the border trick code we did in week 6. I cant get it to work. Why not??

Jason, The CSS file isn't loading so I can't see the problem.

I re-loaded it on the FTP, try now. If not this is it.... #navigation {position:absolute;left:0;width:125px;}#content {border-left:125px solid black;}

Jason, I still don't see it but starting from first principles, I've put together a simple 3-column layout using the border trick. See it here: http://www.coursestuff.co.uk/DESI1046/examples/week_6_border_trick.html

It works pretty well but there is a slight difference in the margin-top between IE7 and FF. Otherwise, it looks fine. I've left the style in the document head so you can see what's going on.

If you Google on "3 column layout", you'll find hundreds of solutions but here's one (http://www.tanfa.co.uk/css/layouts/css-3-column-layout-v1.asp) that may be close to what you're looking for.
