after spending some time converting a site from psd to css i have a few probly basic questions for you guys.

i got a book on the subject, SitePoint The CSS Anthology and getting a little ahead of myself, but been something i been working on so i thought i would ask hehe

i have cade and image of problem is below

1) did a <li> list that will be a few links, the text is correct but the problem i am having is that when i added the line now i am getting a space in between my images. how do i correct that.

2) for the body of the page there will be 2 columns of text, one on the right (blue) and one left (gray), to do them i know will be 2 different class but to put them in the correct space would that be done with the text padding call?



html
Code:
</html>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<body>
<div class="topbar"></div>
<div class="logo"></div>
<div class="midbar">
<ul class="menu">
<li>Forums</li>
<li>Stats</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="curve"></div>
<div class="body"></div>
<div class="page-bottom">Copyright&copy; 2008 Cc2iscooL's Server Community</div>
</body>
</html>

CSS

background-color: 000000;
background-image: url(images/bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;

margin: 0px;
background-attachment: scroll;

well i fixed the space between the images with adding margin-top: 0; to the body,ul section. i kinda also figured out the text with using the absolute positioning, but not exactly what i was looking for, kinda want it to scale with the size of the page and keep its place, is there a way to do that and if so what would i be needing to learn in the CSS to do that?

Keeping the scale in XHTML stict is a little hard. You need to use relative positions and dimensions (using %)

If you want my opinion you should start by fixed dimensions and then play more, as it is harder to learn using the opposite.

I assume you are talking about your text scaling

% and em as units will let your ALL browsers scale the texts to what the user has selected
