SitePoint CSS experiment

SitePoint are trialling a new design for their front page. For fun, I had a go at recreating the new design using structural XHTML and CSS. The result isn’t my normal style (I normally avoid fixed pixel font sizes and go for liquid rather than fixed width layouts) but replicates the existing design nicely and looks good in IE 5/6, Mozilla and Opera 6 on Windows. Netscape 4 doesn’t get the stylesheet and I have yet to try it out on a mac.

  3. Wow - thanks for that :) Looks pretty much identical to IE5/Windows. I'm not entirely sure what causes the slight glitch in the top left (by the logo) but that's present in IE5 as well so at least it's consistent...
