Topic: Quick question about postions

is the position of an element relative to the browser window? or to the table it is in?

that depends if you set the position to absolute or relative.

style="position:absolute [relative]; top:100px; left:200px; "

but maybe you could be a bit more concrete.

If you set it's position to absolute, then it should be relative to the lowest element that contains it that *also* has position set to absolute.

At least, that's what the W3C specs say, but not all old browsers do it that way.

I was just thinking about this while I sit here in Java class, and I think my problem might be this:

<table><tr><td>
<div>Header Div</div>
<div>Body Div</div>
</td></tr>

<tr><td>Something Else</td></tr>
</table>


I'm trying to scroll the body div, and it slips under the table cell below the one these divs are in. probably because i am trying to scroll through 100% of it's parent cell, but can't because there is an element on top of it.

I'll check it out when I get to my home terminal

Yup, that fixed it.
