What do you mean by the bottom of the page? I can see a nice white bottom with the border on top showing links.
Pic here

On a side note, I found it useful...

Sadly I can't link to my site due to hosting issues again...

Small Edit: I count only 8 Divs, not 12.

I mean this.

bottom!

Death to proprietary HTML! Long live proprietary CSS!

The hypocrisy burns.

I find divs useful in some places (oddly, I find them easier to position), but apart from that, trying to do *any* sort of complex positioning just screws right up if I don't use tables.

Well, first thing, Bold strike underline italics. Wait a minute, that is that? They have 'Strong' instead? Really now. HTML came from SGML back a long time ago. You're not gonna make it less dependent on tags which say 'display THIS way' than it already is with CSS


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Hehe, Maybe I am not that great of a supporter after all. Huzzah for Transitional for letting me <b> <I> and <u> to my hearts content.

Then why just not use it, and do it the million of other methods? The nice thing about web design is that as long as it works and looks nice, any extra details are just window dressing. [even web validation, look at google ]

Uh, I don't use them. I'm just saying it's rather hypocritical for an organization that prides itself on having a standards-compliant browser to include non-standard CSS declarations.

'Sides, we all know the Web doesn't use the standards, even the good ones. It uses what it wants, and browsers support 'em.

honestly, this.

the whole concept of 'Valid XHTML 1.01 Strict' is fucking stupid. Who cares? (also, lol @ every error is fatal.)

Being able to get a "Valid HTML" button does not make your site any better than without. 99.999% of the web population doesn't fucking care. It's great and all if it works, but it provides nothing better functionally*.

By the way, here's another piece of table positioning you'd be hard-pressed to replicate:



Oh, what's that? divs don't support "vertical-align"? oh well!

(yes, there is "display: table"... But what about col/rowspan? IE6/7? tables work in pretty fucking much everything.)


* in before "durr, but there are people out there using Lynx and/or are disabled": right. having super valid HTML (instead of just well-formed, like using headings and paragraphs) really makes a fucking difference.
