At the very bottom of your “article”:
“Because of the way screen readers treat Lists, I recommend against using this construct. I have used OLs here merely as a proof of concept (and to make the title of this article a bit more interesting).”
Use floats and clears.
Also from the “article”:
“There are many CSS layouts out there. Some rely on AP (Absolutely Positioned) elements, others use FLOATs. The former method is considered bad practice for its lack of flexibility while the latter is a powerful solution in building robust layouts.”
/sigh. Absolutely positioning elements is certainly not considered ‘bad practice’. While you don’t want an entire website absolutely positioned, there is nothing wrong with it. The author then states that floats are a powerful solution for building ‘robust layouts’, and yet he then goes on to write an article about how they are terrible.
