I am looking to position text in interesting positions within a table cell. I have used divs, positioned absolutely. I have read that absolute positioning is measured from the edge of the div's container, which is in this case a table cell.

But it measures it from the edge of the whole page, which is no good to me.

My html is attached.

Please tell me why the text is being positioned relative to the page, rather than the table cell.

Thanks a lot,

Hey,

I dont see any html

There might be a way to do what your doing without using divs.
Whats your code?

don't worry - I've solved it meself.


Thanks though,

in case anyone hasn't fixed it themselves...

I'd recommend using a transparent spacer (resized 1x1 pixel) .gif here to get the positioning just right
