Xhtml & CSS

I been working with the build you own Web site the right way and “Styling CSS”

Godaddy gave me a site with a banner for a buck for a year, so I am using it to check my work on the book and some new sites I am working on. But when I use Absolute Positioning the Godaddy banner wrecks my website.

#navigation, #bodycontent, #header,{
position:absolute;
}

#navigation, #bodycontent {
top: 207px;
}
#header {
top: 100px; }

#bodycontent {
left: 200px;
}

#header {
width: 100%;
}

So I cheated a little bit but it still effected the placement of my navigation. I am curious what would be a good solution to this problem? I figure the Godaddy banner is around 100 pixels high.

IMHO the best solution is to install your own localhost server. WAMP, XAMPP, EasyPHP, etc. Much better for testing changes as you won’t need to upload and then HTTP request for every change.

If all you are working with is (x)HTML/CSS you don’t even need a local web server. Just create a folder on your hard drive for the site and goto to that folder in your browser. :slight_smile:
