Subject: RE: HTML Stuff II
I usually cheat and use tables, but we're not set up to use them at Mudcat because they can cause problems (but I cheat and enter them with my "edit" button). Pene Azul told me the best way to do it is to use columns, thus:

Columns:
<DIV STYLE="float: left; width: 48%">
Column 1
</DIV><DIV STYLE="float: right; width: 48%">
Column 2
</DIV>


Let's see if I can get it to work:

Columns:
Column 1
Column 2




Well, yes,I guess it works,but I like tables better.

I could really use some more instruction on the <div> tag. It's used extensively on Web pages, so there must be a way to make it very flexible and useful.

"Align" going by the wayside?
Darn, I use align=left/right/center all the time.

SRS, you have glossed over the div/span tags, and these are something we really need to understand. Please enlighten us.
