CSS floating links

[TIURIC]

I am using CSS to position links over text on a background image.

Only problem is from screen to screen the resolution is different so the links appear on different parts opf the screen for different people.

Is there any way I can get the links to stay over the proper text no matter what the resolution??

Tiuric,

I'm not sure I understand the question. Could you post the code or a link to the site in question?

Thanks.

If you use absolute values for all your positioning, and furthermore, use the same origin for all of those values, then screen resolution will have no effect on your layout.

For example, switch all percentage-based values to pixel-based ones, and switch any "right" and "bottom" origin values to be "left" and "top" - then your layout will pretty much always work no matter what the resolution.

Of course, these are drastic steps given in order to fix a problem that is of an unknown quantity. Given the source code, the problem could probably be fixed with less of a panacea ;o)

Hope this helps,
Dan
