"Little Site Design Help"

Looking to achieve a box layout, center page. I don't want to use frames or iFrames, but I do want to define a specific height that can be bordered and scrolled within. However, it can, instead of scrolling, just continue to the side, in columns.

Er...I think you're forgetting the existance of Netscape Navigator - what a horrible piece of crud, nothing ever worked in it!

A Web Designers worst nightmare: Internet Explorer.

Without being unkind to Coin, I think we've established he isn't a professional web-developer. I've made sites that use JS without knowing what the DOM was (though I didn't charge for them), and I'm still only hazy on it's details.

Yes of course, when I was a mere casual web user, but he claims to be making money from web design! I learnt JavaScript before my first work was ever comissioned!

Well seeing that JS is tied to the DOM then you'd automatically come across DOM whilst learning JS or any form of scripting.

So no, there is never a point where soneone who knows JS wouldn't know what DOM was or is.

I'm sure there was a period in your life when you knew what Javascript was without knowing anything about any 'DOM'.

Ah, that would be that new class of Phi11ip friendly CSS, that's what the P stands for btw.

It's great, no matter what you do, the results will always be the same in all browsers and it automatically makes up for stupid errors that you make such as inbred typos.

Oh and until now I've never ever heard of a 'document object model' if that's what it is?

Lolage, and he gets paid for this apparently!;)

Um.

How can you know what JS is and not know what the DOM is?

The DOM?
