  1. ps I should also mentioned when I cleared the navposition, the menu disappeared.
  2. Hi there, Ok so tried it and it did not work, and now the body alignment is acting screwy showing to the right when it is positioned to the left. Any other ideas?
  3. Thanks, of course! You're right about the div. Ah yes, the float center should have been removed. lol. Thanks much.
  4. Hi all, I'm hoping someone could help me out with this problem as I've created quite a headache trying to figure this out. Here it is: I'd like to know if someone could tell me why my navbar alignment continues to show up differently on different monitors and/or browsers. I use different monitors to work. On my laptop screen which is a about a 12" and i use another widescreen monitor which is about 1080px. The laptop shows alignment is ok. when I go to the widerscreen monitor, nav alignment is off. How can i fix so that it shows up the same no matter which monitor? I've done 100% on both background and nav alignment. Please help. Below is the format; *|* { margin:0pt; padding:0pt; } body { background: url(oldpaperrev.jpg); background-color:#9E5F27; font-family:georgia,serif; font-weight: bold; font-size:18px; color:#000000; margin:0; padding:0; width: 80%; } p { line-height:1.5; padding-bottom:12px; } ul { list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; } h1 { font-size:20px; font-weight:bold; color:#000000; line-height:1.5; } h2 { font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; color:#000000; line-height:1.5; } #wrapper { width:960px; margin:0pt auto; } #sitename { height:55px; width:960px; font-size:30px; color:#gggggg; font-weight:normal; padding-top:32px; text-align:right; font-style:italic; } #content-wrapper { float:center; width:960px; } #header-image { } #image { width:952px; height:221px; align: center; } #contents-body { float:left; width:960px; padding:0 20px 10px 15px; color:#000000; } #navigation { float:left; width:300px; margin-bottom:9px; font-size:12px; color:#000000; position: absolute; top:250px; left:400px; height: 100%; width: 100%; } #navigation-links ul { margin:8px; padding:; display: inline; height: 100%; width: 100%; } #navigation-links li { font-size:13px; list-style-type:none; padding:5px 5px 8px 5px; display: inline; } #active { color:#636563; } #navigation-links a:link { display:inline; color:#000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px; text-decoration:none; } #navigation-links a:hover { color:#EAB988; text-decoration:none; } #navigation-links a:visited { color:#EAB988; text-decoration:none; } #active a:link { color:#EAB988; text-decoration:none; } #active a:hover { color:#EAB988; text-decoration:none; } #active a:visited { color:#EAB988; text-decoration:none; } a:link, a:hover, a:visited { color:#EAB988; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none; } #contents { float:left; width:704px; padding:20px 0 0 20px; } #footer { float:left; background-color:#9E5F27; width:960px; height:39px; margin-bottom:30px; } #footer-contents { float:left; color:#7F3D17; font-family:palatino,"times new roman",serif; padding:12px 10px 0 12px; } input { background-color:#fff; border:1px solid #999; font-size:12px; } textarea { background-color:#fff; border:1px solid #999; font-size:12px; }

    CSS

    Wickham, thank you so much for answering this question for me. You were right, I was using HTML img tag. I was using the old <body background> tag at that! This totally worked. I cannot believe in all my CSS/HTML books and sheets I could not find the answer to something this elementary in them. They seem to dive into the deeper stuff first. Thanks again!

    CSS

    Ok, so by the question you've guessed that I am super noob. So far I have not seen how to make this work but here it is. Problem: I uploaded an image that has color atop and fades to light toward the bottom. This was supposed to be my background image. I set it to be large enough to fill the entire page or screen which shows up fine. I wanted to add text on top of the background image but it keeps putting the text at the bottom of the image. What have I missed? Do I need to do a "table background" to make the text appear on top of what is supposed to be a background but only showing up as a simple large image. I'm sorry if this is the dumbest CSS question but I really don't know.
