Re: [WSG] possible to make absolute position moves down with fontsize resize?

2008-05-16 Thread Thomas Thomassen
Add some padding at the bottom of the content with the same size as the absolutely positioned element. That should prevent the preseeding content to not overlap. You might have to do some position and size adjustments to make it all fit again after you add the padding. --

[WSG] possible to make absolute position moves down with fontsize resize?

But that's not because lots of people don't know how to use the address bar, its because MOST PEOPLE find it easier to type partial URL's into Google rather than typing the whole URL into the address bar - plus if you make a slight error you get prompted for the correction rather than just told i

Have to disagree with you there - just because some people do it for a good reason doesn't mean that the illiterate aren't. Certain people that I know, type the full, exact URL for a site into the Google search box in the middle of the page, wait for the results to load, then click the first link
