Hi all.
I have used style=position:absolute to place an image precisely where I want to on the screen, thanks to some help obtained from this forum last week.
Is it possible to do the same with straight text?
I have placed a table on a page and immediately after the </table> tag I just put some text "This is a text placement test".
I've tried to use variations of <style=...> to position the text next to the first table element at the top of the document, but nothing seems to work. Does absolute positioning only work for objects?
The code is:
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td>Item 1</td></tr>
<tr><td>Item 2</td></tr>
etc
<tr></tr>Item x</td></tr>
</table>
This is a text placement test.
</body>
</html>
which produces:
Item 1
Item 2
etc
Item x
This is a text placement test.
whereas I want:
Item 1 This is a text placement test
Item 2
etc
Item x
Is this possible, and if so, how?
Thanks in advance.
Russell.
