any help would be greatly appreciated. i read a ton of threads/posts trying to figure this out. it seemed absolute positioning was the best way to place my forms.
but vertical absolute positioning is different in IE. mainly been checking IE, safari and firefox.
here's the site.
<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.theresolved.comI">www.theresolved.comI</a><!-- w --> don't see any reason to use absolute positioning. It's basically a 2-column layout with a full-width section on top, not unlike the 2-col layouts at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bluerobot.com/web/layouts/">http://www.bluerobot.com/web/layouts/</a><!-- m --> with the exception that you might wrap the whole thing inside a fixed-width div (possibly centered?).Validate your code. You have 53 errors.I think you'd be better off with HTML 4.01 than XHTML but all the errors probably aren't your positioning problem. You might try the !important hack to set different values for IE versus the others.thanks for trying to help me out guys. i am super amateur at all this. someone else started this website, the css and code. i just know basic stuff and am trying to figure out more. how do validate? html vs. xhtml?
it sounds like you guys are saying three different things. i tried adopting the 2-column layout on <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bluerobot.com/web/layouts/">http://www.bluerobot.com/web/layouts/</a><!-- m --> but couldn't make it look right. i don't understand the hack thing.
how do i try the !important hack?
thanks so much.<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org">http://validator.w3.org</a><!-- m --> is the W3C Validator. Just either upload your code or provide the URl, and it'll tell you what sort of invalid code you've got.
I don't know what the !important hack is, but google knows who does. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dithered.com/css_filters/css_only/important_property.html">http://www.dithered.com/css_filters/css ... perty.html</a><!-- m -->
