Hi,
Apologies if I seem like a simpleton - I'm new to this. I've created a page where I've tried to absolutely position a div within the centered container of the page. It doesn't seem to be working - when I change the browser window size, the AP DIV stays where it is, whereas the rest responds correctly.
The link is
www.norwichbodyartfestival.co.uk/venue.html
As you'll prob be able to see, I would like the scroll box to sit on top of the 'Venue' column.
My coding is this...
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #000000;
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
color: #000000;
}
.oneColElsCtr #container {
width: 800px;
height: 600px;
background: #000000;
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 1px solid #000000;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
}
.oneColElsCtr #mainContent {
padding: 0 20px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
}
#header {
width: 800px;
height: 531px;
background: #000000;
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 1px solid #000000;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
}
#nav {
width: 800px;
height: 69px;
background: #000000;
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 1px solid #000000;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
}
#Layer1 {
position:absolute;
left:510px;
top:98px;
width:310px;
height:366px;
z-index:1;
overflow: scroll;
}
.style1 {font-size: 10px}
-->
</style>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
