5.6. Summary

This chapter presented the important concepts involved in CSS layout and positioning, beginning with the box model and continuing through the multiple variations of the position property. We then drove a number of these points home by assembling an example of the "classic" three-column layout.

In Chapter 6, we'll look at a few more advanced CSS properties that affect the layout relationships of elements on the page. We'll then use these methods to address some of the limitations we ran into in this chapter. Finally, we'll dissect the Footbag Freaks Website to reveal how these techniques can be used in a more creative page layout.
