CSS positioning, Top

[ASPVBNerd]

I would like to have my chart at the top, right next to the logo.

In my css I have specyfied these settings.

.container1	{
	background: #ffffff; width:163px;
	position: relative; 
	top: 1px; 
	left: 1px;

But the chart still isn't at the top of the website. The chart is inte the right and inte the middle of the page and not at the top.

How come I cannot see that code on the link you provided? If you use relative positioning, it will be positioned relative to its previous sibling, so it will lie 1px from the top and 1px from the left of the previous element in the html code. Is that really what you want?

Incidentally, I think you mean cart and not chart.

Vragabond, thanks for the help.
I changed from position: relative to position: absolut and it worked perfectly.
Now I learned something new.

I mean cart and not chart.

Many thanks Vragabond.

Not so. Relative positioning positions an element relative to its normal position in the docment flow - so the code given would put the element one pixel lower and to the right than it would otherwise be.

Absolute positioning positions the element relative to the nearest parent element that is itself positioned either absolutely or relatively. Failing that, it's positioned relatively to the whole document.
