absolute positioning in different screen resolutions

[Brad Rench]

Hi

Is there any way to control absolute positioning for different screen
resolutions?

I noticed that an image I have positioned absolutely does not show up in the
spot I want (on the web page) if I change my screen resolution from 800x600
to 1024x768.

I'm aware of relative positioning but I'm not sure this will achieve what I
want.

The site can be viewed at http://home.comcast.net/~brench/. The image is the
"Larchmont Music Academy" lettering superimposed on the G clef.

Thanks.

Best to create the image with the letter G in a image application so that
you can be sure that it will always appear as wanted and to use table to
structure your page layout as well.

Otherwise you are leaving the placement up to browsers and user's
resolutions.

Also look at how your 3 images move and overlap the paragraph below them.
Use tables.

But my problem is with the "Larchmont Music Academy" lettering that goes on
top of the G clef. The G clef is an image already positioned in a table. The
lettering on top of it is a separate, absolute-positioned image. It's not
the G clef that's moving when the screen resolution changes.

The reason I did the lettering as a separate image was so that I could use a
special font (Park Avenue) that would show up no matter which fonts the user
has. I want the lettering image to go on top of the G clef. But, as I said
before, it does not position in the same place when the screen resolution is
changed.

Your comment about the pictures overlapping the paragraph involves the same
problem, I think. These pics are positioned absolutely and shift down at a
1024x768 resolution.

Any other thoughts on this?

Thanks.

However you can create a single image include the text and the G in any
image application which would solve the problem and then all users would see
it the way you want.

The issue with your pictures overlapping the text can be solve by using
tables to structure your page layout and avoid using CSS for positioning,
where it is left up to the browsers and user's screen resolution for how the
page will look.
