Layout in pure 100% CSS is tricky when the width of the browser window is small even with Mozilla-based browsers. I've been trying to find a nice CSS-only layout for my weblog for several months now, and I've finally reached a point where writing my own Wordpress theme that uses a moderate amount of tables is the only way to look good on most browsers. > So here is the question: > > Should I use JavaScript to detect the browser (specifically, IE or Opera, > since FF resizes it just swell) or let the people that use Opera and/or IE > suffer the consequences of going below 700 pixels? Nah. I'd just use tables if that works better :-)
