Hi, I've just subscribed to this list and I see there are more than just a few perplexed souls trying to untangle CSS. As I've tried out different CSS strategies, what defeats me is that there are so many variables to keep track of. I thought this would be a simple exercise:
One image in the center of each page. The image has a wide border on the right side. Inside the border I want to have some text near the bottom. This much I can do. Here's the problem: Images on different pages vary in width. So I was hoping that using CSS I could make the text that appears in the right border area to be positioned relative to the width of the image. Not fixed over the same area from page to page. But after trying hundreds of combinations of positioning, floating, margin-widths, percentages, spans, divs, nesting, etc... it ain't working. You can see my examples here: http://www.walteralbertson.com/css_testing/boxes2a.html http://www.walteralbertson.com/css_testing/boxes2b.html (I'm using Firefox to view it) I currently have the left position of the text box set to 0 because I'm wondering why it should be in this location when set to 0; kind of slightly off center? So, anyway, am I mistaken to think that such a thing can be done? Is there a solution? Any ideas would be appreciated. -walter ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
