• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Relative positioning and a minor issue

    Sorry for the long delay in response. That worked, Emerald Espeon. Thanks! I think I figured out another reason why it was happening, too; I have some of the links in my right menu set so that on some styles I can make them images and in some styles I can make them text; the text ones (which...

    Relative positioning and a minor issue

    Ah okay, so static elements can still have margin values. This seems so much cleaner now. =3 I suppose I don't.

Also, if an element is positioned statically, there...

    Relative positioning and a minor issue

    I added the extra div and that seems to be functional somehow... but I think I'm still confused. How do you know where it would fall naturally on the page? And how do you get one item to follow another if you're not mistakenly using position:relative for that purpose?

    Relative positioning and a minor issue

    Hmm, okay. "If it weren't relatively positioned" meaning where it would fall naturally on the page? Hmm... if I add that in, won't I have to change the rest of the styles though? Nothing else has that kind of container set up; in the rest of the styles, the container contains the menu...

    Relative positioning and a minor issue

    So I'm working on a new layout (I should be working on my content-in-the-works but =P) and I'm having a few minor issues with it. The style is Sandstorm and the stylesheet is here. Please ignore the mismatched colors and images for the time being. What I want is for it to be essentially two...
