CSS - absolute position

C

cshih16

sorry, new to css, this question may be odd:
wonder if absolute position TOP and LEFT can start counting from within
<table></table> section (somewhere in the middle of the page), not from
the whole page top left corner?

i try to build a photo gallery where thumb images on the top and bottom
shows the display if mouse over that thumb image. however, the display
photo can not match the measurement of the background (1st image)..
tremendous headache...

thank you!

First of all: please quote the relevant bits of the message you are
replying to, so we don't have to remember (or guess) what it was you
are replying to.

Second: Your HTML is full of errors (169):
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.mynovember.net/shop/trythiscss.html

It starts with having no said:
<body>
Click to expand...
</div id="header">
Click to expand...

A div's closing tag with an id??
</tr>
<table align="center" ......
Click to expand...

A table in between two rows?

Your CSS might not be caused by the HTML errors, but since I can't be
certain of that, it would still help me to help you if you just
validate your code, correct the errors, and then come back.
FWIW, in Opera the effect on hover over those images is far worse than
on Firefox, while I know that with valid code and good CSS, both
browsers could easily do what you want.

Leaving aside the other problems with the page, which other people have
mentioned already - Els did not say to change the /image/ from position:
absolute to position: relative.

BTW - please follow the conventions of this community and provide context to
what you are responding to.
