12 CSS LAYOUTS Throughout the book, weve been talking primarily about the insides of web page elements—the guts. But what about the framework?

In turn, well show that its possible to create columnar designs without nested tables and spacer GIFs.

Each of the four methods that well focus on take place between the <body>and </body> tags of the document, and Ive introduced the markup structure that well be using at the beginning of each method. To give you an idea of the entire page structure that surrounds the methods, lets outline what else would be included: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN ...
