Hey guys once again I need some help. I cant seem to move div tags where I want them to be. I used this code (i.e

#body

width: 100px;

height: 100px;

top: 25px;

left: 50px;

 

this is just an example of me using the top and left codes. Are they correct? coz nothing seems to happen to the div it just sits there. Pls help me out guys. Really appreciate it

I think the problem is your body ID for the div. Because body is the name of the parent element for all your other elements, your CSS is probably confused. Change your ID to bodyContent or whatever, and it should work. And don't forget your curly braces - like this:

#bodyContent {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
top: 25px;
left: 50px; 
}

Use position:absolute; in above styles.

Edit I tried it but no luck: code if wat I have in css it this

 

#bodycontent {

position: absolute;

height: 100px;

width: 100px;

top: 25px;

left: 50px;

}

it just sits where?

Have you got a link or can you post all html & css

Sorry I dont have a link at the moment. What I meant by Sitting there is the div box is where I already added it to. on the left handside top corner. It doesnt move when I add top and left to the css.

instead of left and top, try margins.

 

#bodycontent {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
margin: 25px 0 0 50px; 
}
