Absolute position

I'm trying to make a button on my form be in a fixed position, I used:

<asp:Button ID="butCancel" style="position :absolute"; runat="server"
Text="Cancel" />

but I get an error that this "is not well formed"

also is there a way in Visual Web Developer to have ALL new buttons,
textboxes, etc. default to "absolute position"?

Thanks! Sol

your semicolon is outside of your ". as for second... I would assume
you could just set a global style in your css.

I'm using the code below to display a menu that opens when the mouse goes over the main menu item (try it in your browser to understand the behaviour). It uses "position:absolute" and a switch between "display='none'" and "display=''". However the problem is that - in Internet Explorer 6 the dropdown (<select>...) always hides the menu

I set it's left and right attributes to 5, so the the element should have a width = parentWidth - 10; This is the desired behaviour, but it won't work. I still have to specify a width or the element has a width of 0. Setting the width to '100%' doesn't give me the desired effect; it takes...

Greetings. I am having troubles using absolute positioning in IE6. When I establish the width as 100%, it's not spanning the entire width of the browser. It works in Firefox, Safari, and IE7.... Just not IE6. Any suggestions? Website: stevenkneff.com code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

The forms are cut into multiple jpg images, so that I can position them on the HTML page, so that they print properly (page1, page2, etc). The information to complete the forms is then positioned using position: absolute and a z-index of +1. Here is an example code of my...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
