My first shot at a pure <acronym title="Cascading Style Sheet">CSS</acronym> design layout. It made me really appreciate Flash and only doing things once. The layout is pretty traditional; news and menu to the left, content to the right. All classes have meaningful names and should be pretty easy to change. If you want a clean version, go <a href="clean.html" title="clean drifting v1.0">here</a>. This template also includes a layout for print media that looks like <a href="print.html" title="print view of drifting v1.0">so</a>.

This template is a pure <acronym title="Cascading Style Sheet">CSS</acronym> layout. It validates successfully with <a href="http://www.w3.org" title="World Wide Web Consortium">www.w3.org</a> as
<acronym title="eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language">XHTML</acronym> 1.0 Strict. Since it's tableless, and the element/font sizes are defined
relatively, it gracefully increases/decreases in size for different resolutions and text sizes (I designed it at <acronym title="measure of screen resoluation in pixels: width by height)">1280x1024</acronym> so I still think it looks best there at <acronym title="firefox: ctrl+0">normal</acronym> font size). It renders consistently in:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/" title="download Firefox">Firefox 1.0</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.netscape.com" title="download Netscape">Netscape 7.02</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.opera.com" title="download Opera">Opera 7.54</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx" title="download Internet Explorer">Internet Explorer 6.0</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>thanks</h2>
<p>
There's no way I would've finished this without all the code examples on <acronym title="Open Web Design">OWD</acronym>. Much appreciated for helping me figure out how to get this template to work in <acronym title="Damn you...">IE</acronym>. Also thanks to <acronym title="ericlussier (at) gmail (dot) com">Eric</acronym> for the example pic I mangled to the right.

Once I finish my own site, I think my next template will be for spring. It's been a looooong winter and I need to see other colours outside besides white and grey. That, and I'm tired of the cold and it's <a href="http://www.pdga.com" title="Professional Discgolf Association: Best. Game. Ever.">discgolf</a> time. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to <a href="http://openwebdesign.org/userinfo.phtml?user=snop" title="OWD profile / contact">send</a> them my way.

<!-- BUG FIX: This corrects another IE rendering bug.... You notice it only when the menu container length is
greater than the main content container. Without this, when an a:hover is triggered in the main container,
IE reflows the page and cuts off the menu at the bottom of the main container. -->
