Changing text positions

AntiEarnie · Sep 9, 2002

Hi, I was hoping someone might have an idea on this. I am trying to place text at several set spots on a asp page. Some of them are going to be a little above or below the normal row size in html. I have seen where you can the position properites to place images in set postions and was wondering if this can be done with text also? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

positioning can easily be done with a little CSS. try this and see if it is what you are looking for
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 6</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
#first {position: absolute; top: 80; left: 60}
#second {position: absolute; top: 120; left: 200}
#third {position: absolute; top: 140; left: 180}
</STYLE>
<BODY>
<DIV ID=first>
<B>This is the first layer. It's in the middle.</B><BR>
</DIV>
<DIV ID=second>
<B>This is the second layer. It's behind the first layer.</B><BR>
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>

sorry didn't clean that up before I psoted it. this is all that is needed. (grabed it from my layers reference folder) after I reread it I can see why it may be confusing and misleading

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 6</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
#position1 {position: absolute; top: 80; left: 60}
#position2 {position: absolute; top: 120; left: 200}
</STYLE>
<BODY>
<DIV ID=position1>
<B>position 1 text</B>
</DIV>
<DIV ID=position2>
<B>position 2 text</B><BR>
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
