About the Layout ::
This code has a single column and a horizontal drop down menu navigational system. The layout will stretch until it reaches 1000px at which point the site centers and a background color appears. This template was created by Ashley Walters and is in the public domain. You may use this template for any purpose. There is no obligation to link back although linking is always appreciated! ^_~
Template Specs
- Single Column Liquid Layout w/Footer
- Cross Browser Compatability (tested in IE (6+), Firefox, Netscape, Opera, and Safari)
- Semantic Validating Strict XHTML
- Validating CSS
- Hack Free! (does use conditional comments for IE)
Template Limitations
This template will break with really large font sizes.
Limitations of IE 6 or less: Because versions of Internet Explorer less than 7 don't support min-width or max-width this template will just keep on stretching. You may be interested in viewing other template options which overcome this issue.
Website Tips
Going to turn this into a website? Instead leaving the CSS embedded, I strongly recommend that you put the css in a separate file and link it to each page in the head of the xhtml document using: <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" />. Don't forget to optimize your CSS! I also recommend separating this template into sections (like the navigational systems and the footer) and creating server-side includes for your website.
