Well, I've just made my first ever site design in CSS2.

And here it is : [URL]http://damarus.co.uk/new/index.php[/URL]

It seems to work fine in Firefox although I need to sort out a few alignments in internet explorer. Damn IE. Yet to test it on others.

So what do you think? and if you have any ideas on how to fix the bloody IE problem please say.

Full CSS based websites rock.

Unfortunatly, they rock for about 5 minutes, until you check out your creation in Internet Explorer.

50% of it's greatness is then spent on sacrificing all the cool stuff.

Please ignore my earlier comments, I'm ill and an utter c*nt.

I still need to get round to learning CSS for layouts - been using it for fonts, classes, layers etc for years, but never to do the bulk of a site for some reason. Actually, why haven't I - I know enough to do it!?

Looks OK in FF & IE6 to me. May need to look into the Box Model Hack and the Holly Hack when you start putting content in and the alignment borks in IE especially if your using relative floats anywhere in there.

FWIW, I really hate that Miltown (Matrix) font.

on further inspection, you'll need to employ the BMH now for the nav.

table.menu a {
width:145px;
border:none;
display: block;
}
div.menu a {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:12px;
text-align:center;
line-height:16px;
font-family: Tahoma, verdana, sans-serif;
padding: 2px 5px;
}

Could be combined to:

div.menu a {
width:155px;
display: block;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration:none;
font: 12px/16px Tahoma, verdana, sans-serif;;
text-align:center;
padding: 2px 5px;

/*IE Box Fix*/

voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family: inherit;
width: 145px;
}

The colours are a bit dark in my opinion, but the layout it good!
