Styling the nav Column

Styling the #nav Column

The third column must be floated and set with a width of 14%. Like the other columns, it also should be padded. However, the padding for this element is padding: 1em 0 1em 3%; as shown in Listing 21.10. The right-edge padding is not defined because this space is left undefined for rounding errors. The results can be seen in Figure 21.10.

Listing 21.10. CSS Code for Styling the #nav Column

 body {     margin: 0;     padding: 0;     font: 90% arial, helvetica, sans-serif;     background: #387A9B;     color: #333; } h1 {     background: #D36832;     color: #FFF;     margin: 0;     padding: .5em 3%;     border-bottom: 5px solid #387A9B; } h2, h3 {     margin-top: 0; } #container {     background: url(back01.gif) repeat-y 50% 0; } #container2 {     background: url(back02.gif) repeat-y 80% 0; } #content {     width: 44%;     float: left;     margin: 1em 3%; } #news {     width: 24%;     float: left;     margin: 1em 3%; } #nav {     width: 14%;     float: left;     margin: 1em 0 1em 3%; }
