    Is it possible with CSS to have 3 major DIV’s (Header, Body & Footer) and only be the “Body”-div be scrollable like with frames? And if so, is it supported by IE, Firefox, Google & Safari?

    Thx for your answers
    PS: I like all the tutorials very much. It helps me to improve my knowledge.

      Mr. Lopez,

      I don’t but its quite simple, just don’t float the ul li property and so the links will stack on top of each other.

      #divNav ul li {
      float:left;
      }

      Glenn,
      I can send you the code, no problem with me but you should not really test things in IE, its always problematic. Try Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Let me know, thanks!

    maybe a dumb question, but what program do you use to make this? and where could i get it. its much a bit easier than notepad i think, u dont need to type everything.
    lovely tutorial!

    I love your tutorials but I have a hard time seeing how you did the gradient… after linear-gradient what did you put before “top” and after the “;” at the end?

    • rolex
      January 22, 2013 at 5:13 am #

      Lee, not sure where exactly you are referring to but try…

      background:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #666, #333, #222);
      or
      background:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #000, #666);

    This tutorial is a superbly presented demonstration on HTML and CSS. I found it incredibly helpful and has cleared up a lot of confusion for me. All the tutorials are the same – well presented, simple and informative. A good job well done!

    Many thanks!
