On the page at http://gavelcade.com/tests/trivia.html
I'm expecting the headings and the text that follows them to be positioned
without regard to image or the DIV that contains it, which is positioned
absolutely. In other words, I'm expecting each heading to start even with
the top of the related image, though with a left margin that clears the
image, and then a small leftward jog so that it does start inside the right
edge of the image. The individual items below the headings should have the
same left margin and fall immediately under the headings.
Instead, the images and the DIVs containing them seem to be remaining in the
flow.
Could anyone tell me what I'm missing?

This I think:
img.subjectimag e
is not the same as

Ah, that's what I was overlooking. Thanks. Though
div.subjectimag e img
is also not what I wanted, because I want the whole div to be positioned,
not just the image (which has to be inside a block anyway--or else, AIUI,
the browser will put it in an anonymous block). So I changed it to
div.subjectimag e
and now I have a different problem in IE6, which has moved the images to the
right so that they are left-aligned with the text. Opera and Firefox are
fine. Can I just not do something this complicated with IE in the picture?

This kills me: it even works in Netscape 4.7. Just not IE.

I haven't figured why (yet), but if you give the relative
positioned div a border (white, to match the background) the
pictures jumps into place, and if you then delete the z-index
from the absolute positioned div, Firebird shows the pics too.
I suppose z-index:-2 puts them behind the screen or something
;-)
Bugs me that I don't know why the border helps though :-(

Oh, I hadn't noticed that the z-index caused trouble in Firebird (and
Firefox) because I looked at them before Opera. I added the z-index because
in Opera the photo was lying over the overlapping portion of the heading.
Now I've just switched things so that the image has no z-index, and the h2
has z-index: 2. That makes Firebird, Firefox, and Opera happy. I suppose
this means Firebird and Firefox don't handle negative z-index properly, at
least not for images or their containing boxes. I know z-index *can* be
negative, so it seems to be a browser bug.
Bugs me that I don't know why the border helps though :-(
Yup, me too. Thanks for your help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In mozilla 1.6/1.7 it looks the way I want it, with a thin separation
between the two boxes. In IE6, the two boxes touch, which is not what I
want. Is there a way to get IE6 to do it the mozilla way?

I'm having trouble with this. The checkbox is no where near
where it is supposed to be and the radio button is not at 206 px away
from the left of the window.
Looks bad in IE6, even worse in Firefox1.0. I tried using <label>
tags but they didn't come out right either.
Need the class xxxx_Label because I may be having the text to the left
of the check or radiobutton.

The lower middle icon the "block" should not drop down when the mouse is over it. How can I stop that?
Also the navigation divs both top and bottom should follow the scroll right. Both of these issues occur in IE 6 but not in IE 5.5.
You can get the horizontal scroll bar for the window by increasing the size of the image wider than the display area
of the window. Assumes 600x800 default display size.

Question is related to ASP.Net and controlling the position of these
controls.
I am using html table to placce my web controls. I am displaying same
datagrid and calendar controls at clicks of different buttons.
Since I am using same control for various clicks, it is hard for me to place
the controls at runtime for my required position.
Any suggestions of doing this will be a great help.

I've been experimenting with floats, positioning and offsets (top, left, etc.) to see what happens when you mix the properties together.
All this may be old news to most of you, but it was extremely helpful to me. The results are summarized in this chart. In all these tests I was using a single child element inside a containing block. (I hope the formatting doesn't fall apart too badly when it's uploaded to a newsgroup.)

Hi,
I have a group of 5 tables laid out of the web page. 2 go on the left
side and 3 on the right. These tables retrieve data from the database
so the number of records (rows) returned varies.
So the problem I am having at the moment is that if the table gets
longer by one or two rows, all my alignment goes of out whack for the
other tables. Is there a way for example to place table #2 right after
table#1 ends?
