CSS newbie, cant get a hang of positioning.
« on: March 16, 2010, 05:46:01 PM »
Hello, I am alright for this bit...

<style>

body
{
 background-color:red;
}

but when it comes with positioning like width and length I dont understand it. I cant produce menu bar which I would like to sit on a left and it would go down. Could anyone help me out please?

W3 School's CSS or CSS Tutorial.net.

You'll have to show more of your code - we can help, but only if you try yourself first.

try <div></div> then within the first <div> putting style="" or apply a class to it. but W3 Schools are an ideal place to start - my degree relied on that website pretty heavily.

You will also want to read as much as you can about the CSS box model. Without a solid understanding of how it works, CSS positioning will always escape you.
