would be great from a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) point of view. I am a real novice at SEO, but in my readings, this is the best for getting good spider support. Spiders don't see the css, so all they see is the looooong (achem, my site) list of links. This is duplicated on EVERY page. Result? Spider thinks your a link site with endless duplicate content and penalizes you. Use Web Developer with Firefox. Disable all CSS and you'll see what I mean.
Source ordering the side boxes (and menu if any) is relatively easy as you pointed out, but getting the header's drop menu at the bottom? Would love to see your solution to this.
Cool stuff!
Heh heh, well, I forgot I wasn't replying to my Apple Zen thread. I get mixed up sometimes. But you happen to use the Apple Zen, right? (If you're referring to http://royalindustriesinc.com/) Though modified a good bit? I'm not sure if my method would work with your site right out of the box. You can see what I've done here:
http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com
The entire header of the above site is enclosed in a <div> (including the drop down menu), so I simply moved that entire <div> down to the bottom of tpl_main_page.php, before the closing body tag. Then I absolutely positioned that div, like this:
Code:
#headerWrapper {position:absolute;top:0;}
Then, I set the #mainWrapper to be relatively positioned, and set it so that it started below the absolute one... I had to play around till I got the correct height:
Code:
#mainWrapper {
position:relative;
top:16em;
}
So now it goes:
breadcrumbs, then content, then sideboxes, then header (with the drop menu).
I also readjusted so the sideboxes are after the content.
This could be done with your site too, just with some tweaks.
