Default Re: CSS div problem - widths and scrolling

Or you can do the smart thing and go back to tables. As glamorous as purely css seems, you have now encountered the reason many experienced web programmers have abandoned it except for specific instances. Your pages will break too easily and browsers don't render the same. Too much work for too little return. Speed? The difference in speed is almost 0.

One thing that will drive customers away is a site that breaks. I know I hate it when opening a site and pieces of the page are moving all over the place as the divs get lined up properly. Ugly.

Being a businessman needing to get sites out fast, monetarily css sites just don't make sense. I'll say it again. Too much humbug for too little return.

But if you insist on keeping it, I wouldn't worry so much about this problem. If somebody squeeeeeezes it down that small they only have themself to blame for the way the site reacts.
