style for float bottom

[Michael Hill]

I have created a test page with a window in it created by using divs, but I
haven't figured out how to move the "down arrow" to the bottom of the main
div.

http://www.hulenbend.net/test2.html

I was looking for a style property like float:bottom but I guess there isn't
one. I don't want to use any hard positional values like left: and top:

Any help is appreciated.

It [down arrow] is at the bottom it's just underneath the arrow_up.gif.
Basically you just want both images/links visiable side by side? I know
you stated you're looking for the down arrow to be at the bottom of the
div but how exactly are you laying this out? The look of it? Not the
code. Give me a feel of where you are going with this if you could and I
would be happy to help.

You want the down button at the bottom of the box on the right.

How about position:absolu te and then adjust "top" and "margin-left"?

If you change CLwindow height to 200:

..clDown {
position: absolute;
width:12;
height:12;
margin-left: 4px;
top: 180px;
z-index:60;
background-color:#EEF3F9;
layer-background-color:#EEF3F9
}
Any help is appreciated.

But wouldn't it just be better to use a listbox or combobox? True, you
can't use z-index. But do you really need z-index? And true, in IE the
only thing you can change is font color and background color. But that
might be sufficient. Plus, it will degrade to a standard control, if
styles are modified or overridden.

I dont want to use absolute positioning.

Yes I want the down arrow at the bottom much like a control, not next to the
up arrow. This is going to be used in areas where I am limited with the
amount of room I have. So in my code the sizes can be static and I can place
stuff in there. It may contain any number of elements in it, not only
anchors as i have here, but possibly images as well.

I dont want to use hard positioning.

Thanks, Mike

I posted it first in .... html, then when I found this ng I thought it was
more appropriate to be here. You know, if I could have removed it from the
other I would have, but you know ..... I couldn't. If you are offended
sorry, just ignore it.

What are you replying to? (quote a minimal bit of what you are replying
to).
If you are offended

You were given advice, who said anything about being offended?

You didn't give any advice. No one did, I said "IF".

Please don't top post.

Are you allergic to absolute positioning? What if it's the best tool to do
what you want?
