> If you're productive and just looking to move over to div layouts, I

> elements, and the concept of page layout as a series of nested "boxes".

I believe that's the missing link. I went and got the CSS Mastery book.

Exactly.

>
> This is a very good article on the box model behind CSS, but scan all the 
> pages  http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/
> Visual people like this simple demo for the HTML element box model 
> concept. http://redmelon.net/tstme/box_model/
> and I like to go here for page layouts according to box model (page level) 
> http://glish.com/css/
> but they are not the latest. For the latest, as always you go to the CSS 
> lists.
>
> Hope that helps.
It does, thanks! And thanks to everyone else you posted.
