I need to positiona layer floated to the right but still creating a corrdinate system for its children. float:left does not satisfy the second requirement, and i cannot seem to get javascript command screen.width to work in css code. I can position the layer relatively in one resolution but this fails under different resolutions. is there a css, asp, vbscript command that i can employ?

positing a layer using css

You just have to position the layer using absolute positioning, while using relative for it's children OR even use absolute for them too.
example: for layer(foo) absolute, children relative.
.foo{
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top:50%;
)
/*Now for the kids*/
.foo table, .foo div, .foo whatever{
position: relative;
left: 10px;
top:10px;
}
this way "foo" is at the center of the screen while it's kids are 10 px right and below of it.
If resolutions is ur problem don't use pixels, use something like 50%. Yup...it works fine.
