I'm in the process of putting together a CSS image map (with help from
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/imagemap), and I'm clearly doing
something wrong. I haven't yet gotten to the point of placing images onto
the links (or even creating all of the images), but I've got text placeholders.
The work-in-progress page is here:
http://www.fileh.com/kungfujoe/WebDVD/index.html
(with CSS here: http://www.fileh.com/kungfujoe/WebDVD/WebDVD.css - the last
line is for a stupid free hit counter that fileh.com automatically inserts
into my HTML file)
My understanding from the CSS spec is that when it comes to absolutely
positioned elements: "The box's position (and possibly size) is specified
with the 'top', 'right', 'bottom', and 'left' properties. These properties
specify offsets with respect to the box's containing block." Isn't a DIV a
containing block? More specifically, how do I make a DIV into a containing
block? I've absolutely positioned the "a" elements, just as the example on
A List Apart does, but they're being positioned with respect to the
upper-left corner of the portal window, and not of the parent
DIV. Unfortunately, the example given on A List Apart forces its menu to
the upper-left corner of the portal window (a convenient "fix" for my
problem), but I really want to have mine centered. I'm not quite sure what
I'm doing wrong here.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
