    Hey there Geoff,
    I really find your tutorials so easy to follow, I have just started into web design and found it all quite daunting but after following a couple of your tutorials I feel much more confident.
    Thanks a mill

  • Hi Marianne,

    My family's from Ireland! We must be kindred spirits! :) Great to hear you enjoyed the tutorials, and I'm glad I could help make it all less daunting...it is a bit freaky when starting out. I remember looking at web design and thinking, "I should really do something else...like become a farmer or something!" Thanks for your comment!

    brilliant vids very helpfull i come back time and time again for reference,just wondering when i create my master t leaves about a 2 pixel gap at the top,not sure if i've done something wrong any help please
  • Thanks for the kind words, Richard. Regarding your 2px gap, I'd have to see your page to see if it's something you've done, or if it's your browser causing that. Have you tested the page in other browsers?

    Cheers,

    Hi Nice Tutorial. I wanna know is using AP Div Tags bad in web designing because i rarely see anyone css templates with ap div tags. One more thing the content region is given a fixed height and width which does not expand accordingly which makes it really tough to manage. how can i come over that?
  • Thanks for the comment. I wouldn't necessarily say it's "bad" to use AP divs, but it is an older method (these tutorials are getting a bit dusty!) More and more designers are switching over to floats -- something I've been meaning to create a few tutorials on. Floats are much simpler and easier to handle, and you don't run into the fixed-height issue.

    Boy! I really REALLY wanted this to work... but it still justifies everything FLUSHED RIGHT! I followed every step (I have CS4) so there was one step where you say tick "advanced" but it says "Compound" but it appears to be the same, just reworded (thanks Dreamweaver). What am I doing wrong! Really need your help. I'm building the site completely using DIV's and they won't stay centered. Looks fine on my high res monitor but when I open in small laptop, it stays flushed Right with no scrolling. HELP!!
  • Okay Gerald, we'll get this happening for you. So, how do you mean "flushed right?" As in, the div's are all flush right, or the content in the div's is right aligned? Email me what you have if you like and I'll take a looky (geoff "at" tentonbooks.com)

    Hang in there, help is on the way!!!

    Just watched all three CSS layout in Dreamweaver tutorials. Excellent, found them easy to follow and very informative. CSS layout doesn't seem anywhere near as daunting as it did and hour ago.
    Looking out for the next one.
  • Hey Tony!

    Very awesome comment, thanks! Awesome to hear that CSS layout seems less daunting now. Admittedly, these tutorials are a bit dusty, so stay tuned for some updated tutorials soon!

    Cheers,
