Sunshine81 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 This is the site i'm working on:http://www.flatballphoto.co.uk/bjportfolio/index.phpThe white box is meant to be centred in the paper texture. Currently this works in FF, but not in IE. It is also meant to be aligned at the top of the table, nestling just under the grey area. In both browsers this will not happen. It works when i remove the height: 100% element from the table the div is resting in, but i want that texture to stretch from top to bottom, so i need it to be on 100%. The question is, how do i then make that div sit at the top of the table. Vertical-align:top does not work.Or am i approaching this in the wrong way?Here is my css: body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #75001C; margin: 0px; font_size: 15px;}a:link { text-decoration: underline;}a:visited { text-decoration: none;}a:hover { text-decoration: none;}.background_table { width: 1000px; height: 100%; background: url(images/background.jpg); vertical-align: top;}.artist_statement { width: 900px; padding: 20px; background-color: #ffffff; text-align: justify; vertical-align: top; margin-top: 50px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;} And here is the page code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></head><body><table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="background_table"> <tr> <td height="100"> <?php require("menu.php"); ?> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div class="artist_statement"> Claire Blundell Jones’ practice includes performance, video, installations and interactive public works. She creates work mainly in the public realm, which develops directly out of the relationships built between the audience and herself. Claire has previously performed in public places (parks, busy central streets, city centres) with/without specially made props, and has changed her behaviour (such as asking for hugs) in order to gain and explore relationships with strangers. These performances are created to respond or to comment on how we relate to one another in public. The relationships and reactions from those she engages with are videoed and then used as part of installations with interactive elements. The performances are often videoed in secret so that the general public do not perform to the camera: Claire believes the relationships and encounters she has with the public should be as natural and unconstrained as possible. Permission is sought (where appropriate) for the footage to be edited and displayed. Throughout this work, she often deals with the themes of emotional neediness and comfort, personal space, alienation and flirtation. <br> <br> Claire has become increasingly involved in community projects, and has collaborated with community officers, safety professionals and students to transform certain public places in work such as “Lounging on Red Couches: A public dialogue on safety in Hyde Park”. These projects strive to use art as a tool for change and increase social inclusion. It questions the meaning of ‘community’ in our day and age by concentrating on building and exploring relationships with strangers. </div> </td> </tr></table></body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhaslip Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 << editted out my reply >> didn't work when I tested it.I would suggest that you look at using straight div's and css for the site. It would be simple to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
