Notice how putting a border on the containing DIV shoves about everything else, so you need to compensate for it in margins or widths.
Tyler Collier amended CSS centred layer with three columns 03 and said: "The great thing about this layout is the footer. It will be at the bottom of the page where it should be and it looks good, regardless of the length of the left column or the right column. If you have a page where the main content (right column) is shorter than the navigation menu (left menu), or vice versa, the footer will still be forced to the bottom because of the clear: both; rule. Try it!"
Five, Four, three, two, one! Here we go! A gentleman's got a walking-stick, A seaman's got a gaff, And the merry men of Robin Hood They used a quarterstaff; On the Spanish plains Inside their canes They hide their ruddy swords, S But we make do with an old bamboo And everyone applauds. One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Me old bamboo, me old bamboo, You'd better never bother with me old bamboo, You can have me hat or me bumbershoe, But you'd better never bother with me old bamboo. A-punting on the beautiful Thames You use a sturdy pole, To protect their fair complexions Ladies use a parasol; And it's useful in the underbrush To have a hefty spear, But what we do with an old bamboo Makes everybody cheer. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Me old bamboo, me old bamboo, You'd better never bother with me old bamboo, You can have me hat or me bumbershoe, But you'd better never bother with me old bamboo. A pilot in an aeroplane He steers it with a stick, A collier in the pits of Wales He leans upon his pick; Now every wheel of an automobile Revolves around a shaft, But what we do with an old bamboo Makes everybody daft. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Me old bamboo, me old bamboo, You'd better never bother with me old bamboo, You can have me hat or me bumbershoe, But you'd better never bother with me old bamboo. Me old bamboo, me old bamboo, You'd better never bother with me old bamboo, You can have me hat or me bumbershoe, But you'd better never bother with, Better never bother with, Never both with me old bamboo... Never!
