I understand! But take it slowly. eg. when you "float a div left
and a div right, the right one is lower than the left one" when
your content for each are too big to fit in the window. But your
content does not have to be too big (you can make it smaller, and
I am talking esp. pics here. And you don't have to float the
right one right, you can float not at all or float it left and
set appropriate margins and padding. In a good browser like
Firefox, you can have some control over stuff by using max-width
and min-width. To stop yourself going crazy, do not use IE while
learning. How to cope with IE is advanced CSS... Just a
suggestion that might help you get you started.... I should talk!
