need help inserting a div relative to another div
 
Hi I'm a relative newbie here....know just enough to get myself into a lot of trouble. I am using a great template so I haven't had to learn much code.

I have an image in a div that serves as our page header. What I want to do is add another div with text in it and have it positioned relative to that image. From what I can gather so far I need to position the new div relative to the "parent" div, but I don't know how to do that. I'm sure it's easy once you know!

Of course I need to get this figured out ASAP as I have a deadline, so any help is appreciated. Thank you!!!!

Hello betise,
It would be no problem to put your text wherever you want in relation to your header image... you'll just need to be more specific where you want it.

Maybe you could photoshop an example? A scan of a drawing done by hand maybe? A link to the site with a more specific description of where the text should be place might be best...

problem solved - thanks
 
Thanks so much for your reply. I actually figured it out last night. I just needed to hop up to the code and move the div with my text inside the div that holds my image and THEN change the position to relative. I'd post a link, but the site isn't live yet.

Okay, I finally got all the divs where I want them, but I've ended up with way too much white space at the top of my page. Can anyone help me figure out my problem?

Hopefully I've copied in enough of the code to see what I've done:
