RE: [WSG] Aligning a menu to the bottom of a div
Yes thats correct. That's a great resource, I image the node would be any div or relative item contained within the div. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barry Sent: 30 July 2008 00:41 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Aligning a menu to the bottom of a div Hi, if you want to replace pixels with ems the easiest and quickest way is to use the em calculator, you can find it here http://riddle.pl/emcalc/ if you are not already aware of it.

Hi Micheal, if you change the containing DIV to a em based height then adding a em value to the margin-top selector in your css would ensure it stays at the bottom even if the page is resized.

Michael Horowitz wrote: I have a horizontal menu in my header div and I would like it to be aligned at the bottom of my div instead of the top. Try this #header { position: relative; height: 5em; background: #CCC; } #header ul { position: absolute; bottom: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: right; background: #900; } #header ul li { display: inline; background: #5D2; } Position relative on the header will make it the container for the absolutely positioned list.

RE: [WSG] Aligning a menu to the bottom of a div
I'm not expert either but to make an expandable/retractable design using em's instead of pixel will make each element resize in relation to each other. i.e. #header ul li{ float:right; font-size:1ems; height: 6ems; margin-top: 0.5ems; } If you use that kind of method then it will resize very nicely. I haven't managed to work out a pixel to ems calculator although I know there are some sites out there with some really useful guides. I'm still slaved to Dreamweaver so I design the work and ems by sight until it looks right, then I test it against the browsers, not an exact science sadly. I'll see if I can dig up the reference sites I've used in the past. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Horowitz Sent: 29 July 2008 23:46 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Aligning a menu to the bottom of a div If I wanted to replace my pixels with em's what would I do?
