very basic question here

Joeb102072 · 09-13-2006, 07:37 AM

Ok I am in the final stages of creating our company's website (which I will post the link when its finished) I have a question. Because I am using a web devloping program I am not as versed in the HTML / Java language as I prob should be. I was given a code to paste in to the source of my webpage and the instructions were to place this code where i wanted it on my webpage. But thats all and when I did it placed the JS item in the upper most left hand part of my page. I am wondering what tags do I need to insert and where do I need to insert them to move this script around my page to where I want it. There is no drag and drop option available I have to manually place the code in. Here is what the source looks like. Its the only thing on the page right now. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. --- Joe.

In order to position it where you want it, you must put it into a table layout where it is desired or (better option and more current coding practices...) put it into a <div></div> tag and position the div where you want it.

By doing this:

<div style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0">

<script src='http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/USRI0014?template=DRIVV&par=1000303098&unit=0&key= 1311f4286d00b197b080b4b5aceb3f33'></script>

</div>

you can place it anywhere you desire by changing the "top" and "left" attributes in the opening <div> tag. The numbers mean pixels from the respective edge. setting the values to "0" as I did will put it in the upper most top left corner (where it is right now). Changing top to "100" and left to "100", it will move it 100 pixels from the left edge and 100 pixels from the top edge.

I hope this helps.

IT HELPS IT HELPS, thank you very much. I had feeling the tags for Java were different than std HTML and usign align=right and so on wasnt doing it. I will let you know how I made out. Thank you again.---- Joe.

I did what I thought I was told but the JS item still appears at the top left hand corner of the page.??

Joeb102072 · 09-13-2006, 10:06 AM

For some reason I had to put the tag above everything on the source. If I made it the first line then it appears and it moves around the page where I put the numbers in.

**gamerman0203** · 09-13-2006, 01:32 PM

hmm...well I'm glad you figured it out. Still seems weird that it wouldn't work in it's original position in the source code.
