How to have Banner (using an include) positioned a few pixels from the top. (abs position won't work

[Dan V.]

How can I have a Banner (using an include) positioned a few pixels from the
top of a web page?
I read that you can't use an include if it uses absolute positioning because
the renderer doesn't know how big the include will be within a div. This is
true for my hosting at ipowerweb.

Is there another way to get the banner at the top of the page using an
include? Can I maybe set the body top padding and top margin to 1 px?

Since Includes are the fastest way to load my 12 pages that look similar (I
think).
I plan on using 4 includes. A banner, footer, 2 columns In a table (far
left column, far right column)
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Has nothing to do (directly) w/ positioning
- don't use it
Set your page margins to 0
Build the include page in a table (cells aligned top)
Insert the include page in a table (again cell aligned top)

Set the top margin at what you want it. Set the div at a fixed width equal to what is required by
the include.

It has nothing to do with ipowerweb, it's how you set up the page.

I will try both suggestions.

Which top margin are you referring to? (<page>)
What properties of a div are you setting? Do you have an example? Looks
like you are saying don't use absolute position or static or relative.
Can't the div be set at 100% or is that a problem?


In css ?:

page {
Margin: 0 0;
}

Thanks I set the Body properties in CSS and it works great


body {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;}
}
