Emacs does not run its crippled Zen Coding in terminal mode

even as broken as the elisp zen coding minor mode I got is, it can't do more than the most simple expansions in the X11 gnuemacs client, it fails entirely if you run 'emacs -nw' in an xterm.

This template works well, but it is not HTML5

Example on centering DIVS with a liquid layout (uses CSS auto margins)

In order to isolate the issues I had with CSS and multicolumn text I looked for templates that use HTML or XHTML with a style that works. I think that I can get the stylesheet to work with HTML5. But first I want to test how the length of the page grows with adding content. I already got the width of the container that holds the body to expand to 90% of the page.

This is main section of the web page

This page will be given a style losely similar to the YUI grid page I made yesterday in that it will have two columns, a header and a footer. It will differ in that the two columns will not be of text blocks; the left side will contain a navigation side bar and the two articles will be folded into the right side. The header and footer will fill the top and bottom of the page and I will try to center them as I did in the YUI Grid example. The difference is that the YUI Grid example does not have the usage that grows out of the HTML5 semantics, I can see some yokle trying to use a <nav> element to force a two column text block, and that this page may not be supported on all browsers, especially IE5, and less so the stylesheet.

Zooming this display causes the right column to slip off the top of its column. This is probably due to the way the browser calculates the end of the middle column.

This is the right column of the web page

This is a test of a template to do two side colums, a central main column, and a header and footer in XHTML with CSS and NO Table.
