I'd go out on a limb and suggest that your problem is maybe one of specificity in your stylesheet. If in doubt put " !important" after your declaration, just to be sure. I.e: "position: static;" becomes "position: static !important;" -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Jonathan Berry Sent: 24 April 2006 09:43 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [wdf-dom] Absolute positioning - a done deal? Guys, I just tried to use the style properties instead of className and it worked. I read that className was faster and therefore more suitable, but it doesn't seem to work. Why is this? Could it also have something to do with the fact that my stylesheet is written to the page (which is has to be because of the number of pages involved)? Thanks SO MUCH for your help.
