CSS Positioning

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to create a table that will take absolutely 100% of the top part of the page. I know this can be done by defining "top:0px;left:0px;position:absolute;", but if I set the position to be absolute for that table, all the tables after that one are getting messed up and it forces me to set a "top:XXpx" for each one of the tables after the top one so it will not be behind the top table.


Any ideas?
Thanks,

 

Can you give us some basic code to work with as an example? You may also want to try CSS as I kind of view tables as outdated. I have recently upgraded my page to use CSS instead of tables. It feels more cleaner and less complicated.

 

Use <div> tage to set align and with with height for your css code...

ya if you give some code for example then we can try in it and try to solve it. But i want to tell you one thing if necessary then use position otherwise use float or nothing. Because when you use position it changes your all settings with other images also.

 

y dont u use div instead of tables ... i guess through div u can do it quite easily!

 

this short code css may help you :

html { padding:0px;margin:0px;}
body {padding:0px;margin:0px;}
table { margin:0px; } /* your table id, or table html tag */

 

hello, that code is one of my answers to a previous question. the numbers there are just random. I had nothing particular in mind when i put those in.

to answer your question, you must remember that a positive integer will move the object opposite its description from point of reference:

position relative, left moves the object right
relative, top moves it down

as the 1st reply said, most of the time you 'eyeball' the position. but since you have rulers it might help you to know that 1 inch is equal to 96px

 

div is easy then tables..
