Position image in exact X,Y spot in relation to table cell 5

[TMac42]

I assume I can assign an ID to a table cell for part of this, but how do I use CSS to insert two images with each image having a different location based on the location (XY) of the table cell?

Rather, I would suggest you put the 2 images in as proper img elements... and then assign them classes (or IDs if that's you're thing). Using CSS you can set them to have absolute position and you can control their respective top and left positions. Of course you would style the parent container (in your case the TD) with relative position.

Does that help?

Cheers,
Jeff

Thanks for the reply. The TD is actually a footer area, so it will always be in a different place depending on the amount of content on the page. That's why I was shooting for using it as the base and then having the other images be in position relative to the TD location.

Possible, I think...just not sure how. Thanks.

Jeff's solution is still valid and does what you want.

 

[TMac42]

Great. Do you know of any links to resources/tutorials that describe how to do this? Thanks.

something like this...

<table>
  <tr>
   <td style="position:relative;"><img style="left:Xpx; top:Ypx; position:absolute;"></td>
  </tr>
</table>

You guys rock. I thought it was more complicated than that. THANKS.

You can lead a horse to water... but some horses need a hosepipe shoved down their throats before they'll drink.

Obviously the OP was more interested in having the solution written by someone else than they were in actually solving the problem themselves... or maybe they just didn't understand my CONCISE and COMPLETE description posted as the very first reply. Ah well.

Cheers,
Jeff

Jeff, my sentiments exactly. I guess your solution was not concise enough, because OP could not use copy&paste to solve his problem.

Have a star on me, Jeff. Clearly the OP just wants it on a plate, without any need to think about the solution.

Maybe you were expecting too much of the OP, we're not all as clever as you guys ;-)

And I'm sure the RSPCA would have something to say about your methods Jeff!
