I look at the list guidelines to see if I am appropriate
http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm where it says the list is
Provide web standards information and assistance to developers...
The mail list covers any topic associated with web standards including:
* Implementing Web Standards - eg: technologies such as HTML, XHTML,
CSS, DOM, UAAG, RDF, XML, JavaScript and EcmaScript
It seems my questions are about implementing Web Standards. I certainly
agree with the earlier posters who suggested I make sure to validate
before posting questions on what I do. That would have saved some dumb
questions on my behalf. I do think we should probably add requiring
validation before posting How To my sites broken questions to the list.
I also do think that it is possible their are lurkers on my list
learning web standards and just starting with tableless design who may
benefit from my questions. Going back 20 years to college I remember
feeling like an idiot being the only one to ask a question in class when
I didn't understand something only to have a half a dozen people thank
me for my question after class because they were too afraid to ask. So
I do believe there are other who may learn from my questions.
There may be a benefit to the group to have multiple mail lists for
different aspects of Web Standards including a newbie list where people
can seek help. I would also be open to having a standard part of a
subject line like
Dumb Newbie asking question :) to allow people who don't want to get
involved with helping to more easily filter my mail. I can tell you it
will probably be 6 months to a year before I can add much more to the
list besides asking questions so you may just with to use your email
filter to put my posts to your trash bin and take it out again this time
next year.
I know I am supposed to thank people off list for help but as long as it
is part of a longer posting I will just add some thanks for your help.
I do learn alot from this list both from my questions on the subject I
just read.

Sorry to come across blunt - but I don't think the web standards group
is meant to be a teacher of css. Great that people on here are wanting
to learn. But there are plenty of other places dedicated to these sort
of things.

Subject: Re: [WSG] Positioning was Extra white line on the top of my list
In playing I've found using the relative positioning working pretty
good for me. Is it just a matter of personal preference what I use
then?
Thanks for the article I really haven't understood negative margins.

The live page is horowitzfamily.net. I'm just learning positioning

work. The issue as mentioned earlier was transparency in my image.
however I am just learning to do css without tables and really
don't know what I
"should" be doing for positioning. Quite honestly in hacking
around this worked. I'll
be happy to get feedback on better techniques for the future
CSS gives you a lot of options for positioning elements on a page.
As with all design issues, the "best" choice is usually a compromise,
depending on what you want to achieve.
My first choice for positioning elements is often to use margins -
including negative margins on occasion. See this CommunityMX article

Hope this helps.
Cordially,
