Positioning Text Over an Image

[DB McGee]

I'm having difficulities positioning text over an image. Specifically, I am
trying to position the text within each <div> to the topleft of each image
within that <div>.

The following works as I want it to in IE6, but the text is not properly
positioned in Mozilla 1.4.

A test page can be found here:

CSS:

#navtabs { width: 190px; }
..navtab { position: relative; height: 19px; width: 190px; margin-bottom:
1px; }
..navtab img { cursor: pointer; }
..navtab p { position: absolute; float: left; left: 0px; top: 0px; z-index:
10; cursor: pointer; }

HTML:

<div id="navtabs">
<div class="navtab"><img src="/images/navtab_1.gif" id="navtab_1"
isrollover="yes" alt="" width="190" height="19"><p>link 1</p></div>
<div class="navtab"><img src="../images/navtab_2.gif" id="navtab_2"
isrollover="yes" alt="" width="190" height="19"><p>link 2</p></div>
<div class="navtab"><img src="../images/navtab_3.gif" id="navtab_3"
isrollover="yes" alt="" width="190" height="19"><p>link 3</p></div>
</div>

Because it has a default top margin for paragraphs.
.navtab p { position: absolute; float: left; left: 0px; top: 0px;
z-index: 10; cursor: pointer; }

Add "margin: 0" (I see you've already taken out the "float: left").
