I have run into an issue where the inclusion of the following causes the absolute positioning of div's to be ignored:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> You can see the behavior with the above line at: http://s92454869.onlinehome.us/test1.html And without the above line at: http://s92454869.onlinehome.us/test2.html The boxes should be appearing throughout the page vs. being bunched at top-left. The full source follows below. How can I modify the CSS so it works per test2.html and validates? Thanks. --------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US"> <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> <!-- #VTP { width: 609px; height: 539px; margin-top: 2px; } #VTP div { position: absolute; } #VTP span { padding: 5px; display: block; border: 1px solid #666; } #VTPdata .temp { padding: 0px; font-size: 12pt; border: 0px; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="VTP"> <div id="VTPdata"> <div style="margin-left: 440; margin-top: 100;"><span>4300'</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 510; margin-top: 140;"><span>4000'</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 420; margin-top: 220;"><span>3300'</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 185; margin-top: 340;"><span>2300'</span></div> <div style="margin-left: 120; margin-top: 490;"><span>1600'</span></div> </div> </div> </body> </html> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
