I am at the start of a new site and have now i have got it in the center i now need to sort the background out.
the section "backgroun_main" i need it to be 100% but when i do that nothing happens or when i try to add a new div tag inside it goes nuts.
i need to know how to make other divs work inside that div.
code;
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#center_site {
position: absolute;
height: auto;
width: 750px;
top: 200px;
left: 50%;
margin: -200px 0px 0px -380px;
}
#background_main {
position:absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 750px;
height: auto;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #FFF;
}
#2 {
position:absolute;
left: 0;
top:200px;
width: 100px;

</div>
</html>It is not advisable to use the underscore for class names.
Furthermore using #2 is illegal in CSS you cannot begin id's with numeric values, get those issues sorted first.
ummm... okYou'll get much more predictable results if you write standards comliance HTML. Browsers will work in standards comliance mode with a correct DOCTYPE specified and characterset. Otherwise, browsers work in Quirks mode, and support for CSS is very tempermental in this mode.
I was able to get the code you posted to validate as HTML 4.01 Transitional at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/">http://validator.w3.org/</a><!-- m -->
See the attached TXT file, save it as an HTML file and open it in a browser. Let us know if what I've done is what you're after.thanks for the help guys.
the code is alot better now and works in a couple of browsers i have tested it in and on Dreamweaver MX04's internal checker.
thank you
