How to start new HTML on a specific position on the screen?

kippie · Sep 27, 2003

Is it possible to start a new HTML somewhere else than as usual? I mean it usually begins in the top left corner of the screen? Can I make it for example so that it starts at the position top: 200 and left: 150?

You could use the css positioning

wrap your content in a div with the following style rules:

div {
position: absolute;
left: 150px;
top: 200px;
}

Sorry, probably I'm not clear. As I do what I think you mean I make a HTML like:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
<STYLE>
BODY {
margin-top:0;
margin-left:0;
margin-right:0;
margin-bottom:0;
padding-top:0;
padding-left:0;
padding-right:0;
padding-bottom:0;
}
</STYLE>
</head>
<body>
<div id="blocks" style="position:absolute; left:150px; top: 200px; width: 198; height: 295;">
<img src="jeanetbrecht2opt.jpg" border="0" alt="Image 1" width="198" height="295">
</div>
</body>
</html>

But then the image starts at the position left: 150px; top: 200px, but the HTML itself start at top:0; left0. Is there a way to solve this?

What Mr. Belfry showed you created an invisible block that was 150px off the left side and 200px of the top side. So, everything you need to do is put all your code inside the <div> </div> tag. Other than that, I don't know any way of doing it.
