Clipping a Div

[Joy]

I inserted a div into my webpage, and the problem is it doesn't appear where I want it on every type of screen. Is there a setting I can use to control that? Or is it just a pain in the butt that I have to deal with.

Help! Thanks

in your css does it say

position:absolute;

?

[Joy]

It didn't, now it does. Thanks!

[Joy]

Yes. They are set to position absolute... but they are still shifting depending on the browser and depending on the type of screen (widescreen or regular) what should I do?? Help!

make sure you're not using percentages. Percentages are variables depending on the width of the screen. use absolute values in pixels

Make sure that you put px after the number of pixels too.

ex.

#Layer 1{
position:absolute;
left:110px;
}

[Joy]

It is in pixels.. got any other ideas?

i see here you linked to an external stylesheet.css and have css on the page itself.


Is it possible that your stylesheet.css defines say "Layer1" as well as the css on the page. that may be confusing your browser..

I can't seem to locate your stylesheet on your site so I can't look at it myself
