You can download this chapter in PDF format, along with the first three chapters of the book, if you'd prefer to read it offline. Now, let's get started building your CSS-based page layout! We now have some sound theory under our belts. The rest of this book will concentrate on how you can put CSS into practice when developing your own sites. Along the way, we'll be learning how to lay out pages using CSS—moving from simple layouts to more complex ones—and how you can combine some of the concepts you've already read about to create great-looking sites. This chapter will start with the creation of a simple two-column layout. Along the way, we'll discover how to use absolute and relative positioning, and see how margins, padding, and borders work together. Then, we'll get an understanding of how all these tools can be used together in practice by creating a two-column layout that uses many of the techniques we have discussed already in this book. While the layout we'll create in this chapter is a relatively simple one, it's a structure that's used by many web sites; the layout we'll develop here could easily form the basis for a production site.
