My guess is that it was designed that way for the 3-column layout, where the negative margin technique is useful for having sidebars on both the left and right but still having the middle (main) column first in the source order. </p> <p>I was wondering if it serves any purpose in the 2-column layout, or if you could just as easily zero out the margins and float #content in one direction and the asides in the other? </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/question-about-containter-in-2c-l-fixedcss#post-4057 Mon, 25 May 2009 02:04:57 +0000 snack 4057@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>hey all. what's this humongous negative margin for? i'm just curious. doesn't seem to be effecting anything.</p> <pre><code>#container { width:940px; float:right; margin: 0 0 0 -310px; }</code></pre>
