Need help with positioning an embeddable forum

[mlopez1007]

Hello -

I've just registered with Nabble and I have a basic forum running.

I want to embed this on a web page, but it seems as if the basic/conventional way of positioning the code isn't working:

<div id="1" style=top:630px; position: absolute"> is an example of what I use.

The CSS examples that this web site is presenting seem really vague to me and I don't know where to begin.

Any thoughts or insights on this would be helpful.

Your question isn't really a Nabble issue, but one that should be directed at the support service for your web creation software. However, I will make one observation about your main question...

Using "position: absolute" is rarely the best  way of locating a major part of your page's content. It takes that content out of the page's "normal flow" and should, for example, your visitors use browser settings to magnify text or images then your page could become seriously corrupted with the features such as your main navigation menu becoming hidden behind the absolutely positioned block.

Also, I am not sure what you mean by  "The CSS examples that this web site is presenting seem really vague". Does "this web site" referr to your Nabble forum?

Well, for starters I was able to fix the positioning issue. I was able to make it happen with the use of an external css file. I had to access a different web site to help me create it.

The CSS examples that I'm referring to are the ones that Nabble provides on it's web site, for color, etc. I need a little more help with how that can be applied.

Any ideas on that?

[mlopez1007]

Never mind. I was able to manipulate that as well.

Glad you're beginning to get on top of things.

If you have further problems, it's often helpful to include the URL, so folk can see the patient and give a better diagnosis.
