Hi Richard,
I'm not sure I can solve your specific problem, but I can speak to
positioning an object relative to its parent. This was an epiphany for
me when I discovered it (reading and Eric Meyer book, I'm sure).
To put it simply, you must set the parent element to be recognized as
a box. You do this by setting its position to "relative" or
"absolute". The child element's position is then set to "absolute". I
know, it's not particularly intuitive.
So, to position div#fbar (the child) relative to the postion of
div#bar (the parent), you do something like this:
div#foo { position:relative; }
div#bar { position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 20px; }
Then, in the xhtml...
<div id="foo">
<div id="bar">some content</div>
</div>
That'll offset the content of bar 10px from the top edge and 20px from
the left edge of foo.
Hope this makes sense and help a bit w/ your trouble.
Cheers,
-pete
