okay, grab your css code, open a text file, just stick it in there and save it as whatever.css<br />
<br />
In your page, instead of putting the css code, put <br />
<link REL=stylesheet HREF=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"/wherever/style.css" TYPE="text/css"><!--content-->CSS positioning means using an external or internal style sheet or inline style tags to position elements on a webpage. <br />
<br />
The advantages are that very precise positioning is possible and you can stack elements on top of each other using z-indexing and throw in java scripting for DHTML effects. <br />
<br />
Think of the browser window as a series of pixels (which it is) starting in the top left corner, that is position left: 0px; top : 0px;<br />
<br />
browsers start at the top left corner and work from there, like reading English, left to right top to bottom. <br />
