Hi,
I am trying to get two divs to align at the bottom of another div. As
they are nested in this div, I expected them to be positioned at the bottom
of it, using the code below, but they are instead at the bottom of the body.
note - I do want them on top of each other, so the only problem is - where
is the bottom, and how can I make it the same as the bottom of the div.
Thanks, Martin (code below)
<html>
<head>
<title>
test
</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="height: 100px; border: 1px solid black">
<div style="position : absolute; bottom: 0px">skjfh</div>
<div style="position : absolute; bottom: 0px">flj</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Don't post code to the group, upload a minimized test case using some
real content and post the url.

According to this link, the text should be at the bottom of the box with a
border, which is what I want, yet it is at the bottom of the page. This
problem occurs in both firefox and internet explorer. Ultimately, it really
only needs to work in ie, as it is for a closed web application, which
already uses activex (so is already ie only). Even so, I would prefer if
possible a fix that is standards compliant, as this will help in the future,
but if not possible, I'll take the hack. (code below)

I don't really have real content as such. It is for a web app rather than a
website as such, so I don't have masses of text. Anyway, real content would
kind of go against having a minimised test case.
Thanks for all your help,
Martin

No, I'll quote the most relevant bits: "If the element has 'position:
absolute', the containing block is established by the nearest ancestor
with a 'position' of 'absolute', 'relative' or 'fixed',"
[...]
"If there is no such ancestor, the containing block is the initial
containing block." >(code below)

Using real content allows us to see what you are actually trying to do,
often the perceived solution is wrong.

Ah, sorry, missed that as it was quite subtle. So essentially, to get this
effect, whilst maintaing normal flow for the outer div, I need add
"position: relative" to the outer div style. http://www.bytronic.com/tests/test2.html
it works now!
Thanks,
Martin

Hello everyone,
I used absolute positioning with div tag in my website. The page looks
cool as long as someone doesn't try to zoom in by increasing the text
size (ctrl++ or thru changing font size in browser settings). When
someone does that, the layers seem to overlap and the layer with a
greater z value pops in front and the other layers are pushed back.
The most obvious solution will be to prevent the user from increasing
the text...

My question is:
If you create a template in Photoshop, slice it in ImageReady, using
the CSS output option(under the "slices" menu in "output--options"),
and then use the CSS output for a template(which will all be
absolute-postioned DIVs)--would there be any foreseeable drawbacks to
this?
Put another (simpler) way: are there drawbacks to positioning
everything on the page with absolute references alone?

I've got a problem that requires rendering DIVs at different offset
locations, and while I've got a solution that works, the absolute
positioning is working to the client window, not to the parent
container.
The stuff I write will get placed inside a table cell produce by
someone else's template -- I have no control other than to emit
HTML/CSS within that sole cell.
So, I decided to construct a simple case and am having problems...

that I don't know how wide or long my tables, divs and spans are going to be
