ISL WK3: Positioning in CSS

Ok, so there are three articles here, but it is the first two that this blog response is for. I just put the third one up for those who want to know more.

The first one started out with a good refresher of what block and inline elements are. I haven't dealt with that stuff in a long time, so that was good. All the articles are  have great links scattered throughout for more helpful information on particular topics, which was very nice. I really liked the fact that the author put in what Internet Explore has problems with, and I quite enjoyed the fixed position bit. Very funny. However, I still don't understand the authors explanation of the z-index. And to be quite honest I still don't quite understand the four different types of positioning and what there good for. I guess I might need to print this up and go through in more carefully, with a highlighter maybe. I found out in the second one that you can clear different ways, and that you can put a clear in the same div tag as the float. I will probably never use it that way, but it is good to know these things. I can't believe that tables were discussed. Especially in such a new blog, but I guess some people still want/need to know about them. I just skipped over that part myself. Hope you can get something out of these.
