Hi, there, I am getting started on a long overdue overhaul of a static content site I've been maintaining for the last 7 years. The css is pretty crufty (I don't think I've changed it in the last 3 or 4 years).
Fortunately, the static html pages were made with reasonably clean code, , so I should be able to use css to change the global look and feel But I encountered a problem. I have div.columnA and divcolumnB which is my main layout. In div.columnB I have an img element inside. However, I'm not quite sure I want this div.columnB. img actually to be located inside div.columnB. Maybe I want to put the image above both columnA and columnB. Maybe I want to put the image inside columnA instead of columnB. Is there any positioning css you can do to jam the columnB image inside of div.columnA. (Like setting a positioning value to negative?) I'm calling this "negative positioning" for lack of a better term. (Actually what is the phrase for what I am describing?) Also, are there big differences between how IE 8 and IE 7 handle these negative positioning tricks? (I upgraded to IE 7 and have no way to test IE 7 anymore). One thing I'm dealing with is that sometimes images are columnA; at other times they are in columnB. I want to be more consistent. Thanks for your help. -- Robert Nagle 12777 Ashford Point Dr #1417 Houston, Texas 77082 713 893 3424 htpt://www.robertnagle.info ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
