RuthsarianLayouts

Deep in the depths of Castle Ruthsarian is this, the chamber of experimentation. Here ye shall find many examples of CSS black magicks in their most raw and hiddeous form. Those who venture forth dare not expose such experiments to the public eye. Such disregard for the black arts may expose many great and terrible page breakings; let ye be warned!

Layouts

Plaine
A minimalist approach to markup. The goal of this layout is to achieve as much as possible, visually, without any markup used only for visual formatting.
Nausicaä
The goal here is to develop a 3-column layout that has gaps between each column. Each column also needs to have a border around it and it must be able to have separate background colors for each column, and the columns must carry the full height of the web page regardless of which column is tallest.
Bob
Started out as an experiment in overlaying borders of varying sizes to eventually achieve a blurred-edge. It has since changed into a layout with a thick border that has a smaller border around the thick border, both on the inside and outside of the thick border.
Diane : One
A fixed header and footer with the area inbetween scrollable content.

A CSS hack that allows you to target CSS at IE/Mac 5.0 and 5.1 separately.
