Page layout in CSS (multiple questions)

> Hope this makes sens

Well, only a little. I can't help but feel this is the wrong approach,
though, since it's so 'rigid' with table cells and alignments and all. Are
you doing this without benefit of a back-end database? In other words, are
all of these pages STATIC pages?

Sorry - again. I'm on NNTP not the webforums. This reference makes no
sense to me.

Are you doing this without benefit of a back-end database?





are all of these pages STATIC pages?




Yes .. ALL the ad pages are made seperatly. a costumer may have 1 design for one ad, and a totaly other design for there next one. a costumer may have several ads online at the same time, that all looks diferent. And the same costumer may have severel sub-companys and/or department for who the ads are made for. So one custumer can have several ads that looks completly difrent.
If a costumer use the same design for several ads, normaly only the basic is used, all text, and even adresses change. Ther only a few things that goes for all of them, that is eg. that they all are 750px wide and use verdana as font.

Those 2 ads are for the same company

The questions was:

Right now im trying to figure out why the relative position "test element
1" enlarge the cell where ther shud be room enough





and why the absolute position "test element 2" jumps out of both the table
and the bodywrapper div, i have to style the bodywrapper relative, thought
i woud inherit that frome the pagewrapper?

Excuse me I have just one humble question?

NOW - if the relatively positioned element CONTAINS an absolutely positioned
element, then the relatively positioned element will be a "positioned
ancestor" for the absolutely positioned element. SO, when the relatively
positioned element centers, it will drag the absolutely positioned element
along for the ride. AND the absolutely positioned element will be located
at the SAME location (relative to the relatively positioned element's
location).

What language are you speaking? It looks like English but sounds like Jabberwocky!

An absolutely positioned element is a fixed distance from the top left corner of whatever it's inside. Or at least its own top left corner is.

If it's just on the page, it will be exactly 'so far' from the top and left of the page. So many pixels or whatever.

But if it's inside something else, it will be that certain distance down and left from the top corner of whatever it's inside. A box within a box.

Except that.. this is only true if the thing it's inside is 'positioned'. Think of that as a mystery spell that has to be applied to the outside or containing 'thing' for now.

Once that's firmly ensconced in your head, you can start to learn about different kinds of positioning (spells )

Is that better or worse?
