In this article I’m going to completely cover layout and positioning with Cascading Style Sheets and xHTML. If you haven’t read/viewed my xHTML W3C Tutorial or my Adding CSS Style to HTML article, you should do that first.

It is very important to enclose all of your code into a series of block elements. Everything on your page should be enclosed by a Header or Paragraph Tag. If you do that, not only will you be xHTML compliant you’ll also have no problem with positioning your content.

<blockquote> : Block Quote
<div> : A block container that we’ll talk about soon

<table> : Table
<ul> : Unordered List Continue reading Adding CSS Style to HTML: Layout & Positioning →
