So, here's the new layout, still in development,
http://www.goodcowfilms.com/!/

I think I'm going to just keep goodcowfilms.com as a greeting page to let people choose between "farm" and "films," but I'll change the films section to fit within this new template. (only replacing the spots with filmstrips as it currently is, and then have a button on the top right to shift between the two sides)

1) How do I get that left navigation cell to expand down to the bottom of the page? The table is set for 100% height, but it won't go... and I can't get it fixed lengths, as the content cell size will be variable.

2) Using phpincludes, can you have various files reference different css style sheets, and they'll only be applied to that section that's being included? Or will there be a conflict?

3) Anyone have any links to a good, and free PHP sendmail form, which will include things like the referring URL? I want a small contact box for errors and suggestions on each page. (yes, like Amazon)

4) With frames of course you can set target frames with links. You can't set target tables/cells with HTML, right?

5) Expanding on number four, let's say, for example, somebody clicked on the livejournal button, and it opened it up within that template. So, I would use a phpinclude, and it would be fine. The problem is, if somebody then clicked a link within that include, off of LiveJournal's servers, it would hijack the whole page. The only other option I could think of to keep them within the template is an iFrame, and those are horrible. Are there other ways?

For now, that's about it I think. If anyone has any suggestions in general, please feel free to let me know.

CSS can be used for more than setting fonts
check
http://www.w3.org/Style
and for some examples:

1) Put everything in a giant table with three cells, color the left and right cells and call it a day. If someone can get this to work without resorting to tables, I'd like to know as well. Setting style="top:0px; bottom:0px;" seems to work on FF (yay!), but fails horribly on IE, which most people use (boo!).

2) If you include everything into a single HTML page, there could be conflicts obviously. But then your page would be a mess anyway. Unless I'm missing something here.
In any case, using a decent CSS naming scheme should prevent most problems.

3/4/5 : learn PHP? Because it's really not that hard to get results, and things like mailing stuff and using that template is REALLY simple with PHP.
