I've placed a nice oblong-shaped header at the top of my page and have tried to put a corresponding thinner oblong underneath (with adress details, phone no etc). The oblong itself is ok but instead of remaining in the place I specified with absolute position it jhust defaults to the top left hand corner and nothing i do seems to shift it. Any advice gratefully received!
when asking questions. Always post your code or a link to the site so that we can see it. Your questions will be answered alot faster that way. Instead of answering your question now, i am spending time to tell you how to get your question answered. If we can't see your code, we won't know what you did wrong. Maybe it's just a typo, maybe you organized it wrong. See my point?
ok, your half way there. You still didn't post a link to your site nor did you post the code that you are having trouble with. We can't help you if we can't see your code
