    Question Text problem

    The problem I had is that text will rearrange its position according to the browser's size. How to tell text to stay in it's original position? (I am using dreamweaver) Thanks

    P.s. I just realized that image will do the same thing.

    I presume you are putting the text directly into the BODY element.
    HTML documents are cascading (in the sense that the content falls in a subsequent manner) and scalable (in the sense that content adapts to the width of the window).

    Unless you make it do something else.

    To make a block of text stay still you must treat it as such: you must enclose the text in some kind of object whose dimensions you can fix. A DIV element, or a cell of a table will do well.

    At this point you just need to add some CSS properties to set the size, position and style of the box and you're done.


    Hope this helps
