DIV Positioning and Code help Options

[dotAzn]

Well, I have been trying to make a DIV Overlay using this this image I made in Photoshop: http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/1083/ra...ivlayoutdh5.png

And I was following the stickied Div Overlay tutorial in this section. I tried using the folowing code:

Hide Comments:

CODE

<style type="text/css">
.contacttable,.whitetext12,.nametext,.lightbluetext8,.orangetext15,.blacktext12,
btext,.redtext,.redbtext{display:none;height:0px;!important;visibility:hidden}
td td td td{border:0px;width:0px;text-align:left;}
table,td,tr{padding:0px;width:;background-color:transparent}
table table table{padding:1px;height:.01%;width:100%;}
table table,table table table table,table,tr,td{height:0px;!important;border:0px;!important}
table table table table,table table table table td.text, td.text td.text table{display:none;}
td.text table table{display:inline;visibility:visible;}
table td table tr td.text table{visibility:hidden;}
table td table tr td.text table table,table td table tr td.text table table td.text{visibility:visible;}
</style>

Short CSS Code:

And the Image Code:

CODE

<div class="bg" style="position: absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:000px; height:000px; overflow: hidden;">
<img src="http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/1083/ragnarokdivlayoutdh5.png">
</div>

I also don't know what dimensions to put for Left, Top, Winth, Height, etc. Can anyone help?

What is your main question?
For the Left, Top, Width, and Hight:
Left is where the overly image is positioned (from sided to side)
Top is how far the overlay image is from the top of the page.
Width is...well, the width of your image. You can find this using photoshop.
And the hight is the hight of your image, which you can also find using photoshop.

You really have to mess around with numbers for Left and Top until you find what suits you

Well, I can't really "explain". So, I'm just going to show you:

The dimensions:

Top: 50%
Left: 50%

Width: 1006
Height: 950

^I didn't understand that but anyway, try replacing your image code with this:

CODE

<div class="bg" style="position: absolute; left:50%; margin-left:-503px; top:0px; width:1006px; height:950px; overflow: hidden;">
<img src="http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/1083/ragnarokdivlayoutdh5.png">
</div>

That should make the image centered horizontally. Just replace the 0 on the top property with however much pixels you want it to go down by from the top of the page. If that doesn't answer your question, please clarify it.

Well, that works. I read over the positioning guidelines and crap, and I got it right. Mods can move to Solved Section.
