    Been awhile since i really thought something was worth reviewing while this isn't a massively great design it was my first website done in tableless and lets just say it went great till the very end and it took me 2 hours 2 fix something so simple.....

    By far it's so much better to hand code and do tableless, i have heard people say it and think they are crazy forever, though now that i have tried it it was truely better.

    I learned more tonight than i have in almost 8 months.

    Anyways please review http://www.trueelementdesigns.com/samples/v20/

    If you have less than 1280 x 800 expect issuses, i am currently fixing it so it will automativly detect your screen res and if it is less than 1280 x 800 it will go to a more basic page ill edit topic it when it's done.

    Yes. You should use em to assign font size. 1em = 10px.

    looks nice, only thing is that when you make the window narrower all the divs go wonky (as you said 'issues') you could look into z-index to get the left and right divs to be below the center one, so that if the site is narrower then then left and right divs silde under the content (you could also make the content under the divs be alpha'd out =)
    check my myspace page to see what i mean with the overlays and the alpha blending (view the source and search for .overlay)

    Looks very good the design, but I think that the font should be bigger.

    Very nice design only you should never really design a site for higher than 1024x768 resolution which is now the standard resolution at the moment, oh and maybe make the text bigger, tad on the small side at the moment.
