I've just started my first site using CSS, and I'm having some positioning/floating issues. I'm using Weebly.com to host the site, so ignore any %%WEEBLY%%-type writing in the code, as they demand you keep certain things in.
So my basic problem is this: I've put 5 divs inside of a wrapper that is 619px wide. All I really want is for the divs inside to line up against one another from left to right in this order: #leftfar, #leftskinny, #maincol, #rightskinny, #right far
I figured all this would take was putting in the first div (#leftfar), entering in it's width and floating it left. Then I figured I could just repeat this step for each consecutive div. However, it seems that the #maincol div floats left against the wrapper edge and underneath the 1st and 2nd divs instead of against the right side of the #leftskinny div.
I'm not sure why it worked for the 2nd div and not the rest.
Excuse the general disorginization in my code. I don't really have any sort of system yet. I've highlighted in red where the problem probably is.
Here's my html
Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<title>%%TITLE%%</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
image1 = new Image();
image1.src = "http://i43.tinypic.com/1627eo1.jpg";
image2 = new Image();
image2.src = "http://i43.tinypic.com/1sbij8.jpg";
</script>
