Wotcha, folkls.

I've created a body {position:absolute} in my CSS at the beginning of my web page, but it doesn't seem to carry through to the actual page itself.

If I want to correctly position a picture, I have to then use <img src="piccie" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:80px">. Without the Position:absolute it places the image a few pixels below where I want it to be.

Any ideas why?

Ta,

Why dont you put your css in an external file.....much easier:

#splash{
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:80;
width:30;
}


then in your html file:

<div id="splash">
<img src="piccie.gif">
</div>

instead of using position:abosolute with the body

body {position:absolute;}

use it with a specific class, or id

img.classname{position:absolute;left:0px;top:80px;}

or

img#idname{position:absolute;left:0px;top:80ps;}

then use

<img src="piccie" class="classname">
 or 
<img src="piccie" id="idname">, respecitively
