RE: [flexcoders] x, y, width, and height in CSS

[Brian Deitte]

Thanks Peter.  If I can use Left/Right/Top/Buttom or Padding* for all the components where I specify x/y/width/height, this will be a good substitute.  -Brian From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Baird Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 6:30 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] x, y, width, and height in CSS There are some reasonable approaches for some of things your looking for in CSS. For X and Y positioning, you can use the CSS values Left, Right, Top, and Bottom to specify the pixels distance. For height, for controls like button, you can use your CSS paddings to, in a sense, define the height. For example, a button, setting PaddingTop and Padding Bottom will create a consistent height for buttons across all buttons with that styleName. You can play around with paddingTop and paddingBottom until you get the desired height ( http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/consulting/styleexplorer/Flex2StyleExplorer. html) and use that to define height. -peter On 11/2/06 2:47 PM, "Brian Deitte" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]com> wrote: > Is there any thoughts on having x, y, width, and height in CSS?
