html/css coding for div overlays. Options

[imasharkbear]

I design band layouts.
There is a few bands that have asked me to do some sort of DIV OVERLAY code.
I tried and it never works in different browsers.

Heres a few examples of bands that have this code.
(look at the members and info section)

Basically, I just need some help on how to get a div overlay code (if that is even what it is) to be compatible on all browsers.

Thanks :)

most, if not all of the myspace layouts on this site are div overlays. I'm pretty sure there's a tutorial on here somewhere...

Schizo has one :D

Erm... Do what they said :D
Maybe a link to your current testing layout?
And which different browsers do they not align in?

Yeah, I've done all that.
It's just a simple DIV code and in one browser it'll be perfect in another it'll be messed up.
Isn't there a cross-browser code or something?

There's the 50% left margin method. Set the left margin to 50% then add a margin-left attribute for precise positioning, like this:

CODE

left:50%; margin-left:-#px;

Just replace the pound symbol with a specific value according to where you want to place your DIV's. You can remove the minus sign, too, if you want to move the DIV to the right as opposed to the left. That should make it compatible in most, if not all major browsers.
