I’m trying to drink the kool-aid. Really, I am.

April 21st, 2002

So I spent some time white it was raining yesterday afternoon, attempting to re-design this site in valid cascading style-sheets. Actually, it was going quite well, with a fluid three-column layout (yep, you’re gonna get an extra column — aren’t you excited?!?) . . . with one catch. Anybody know how to get a text element to fluidly resize so it consumes 100% of the available space? E.g., look at the “ten reasons why” header above. It takes up 100% of the width of the text column, but that’s because it’s fixed in a table. With CSS, can I set a text element to always take up 100% of the width. I tried ‘text-align: justify’ but that doesn’t force-justify a single line. Which is basically what I want.
Of course, this assumes I roughly maintain the existing design of the site, which certainly is a solid gold site design. Maybe I should just toss the whole thing and start afresh. . .
