what's up with this button???

Post by OliviasMama12 »

Hi Michael-

Ok I've figured out how to put a button ON the page (background image) instead of under or above it. (thank you!) I even got it to have a rollover where the appearance changes, which I'm pretty stoked about. But now every time I place my button over my background image, it is always by default positioning in the upper left hand corner. I need all my buttons to be stacked one on top of another and all aligned to the left. The first button should start right about where the fish is in the "semi-"upper left hand corner. The rest of the buttons should appear below the first button. How do I go about correctly positioning each button?

Thank you in advance,
Nikki

Your button is actually placing perfectly normally given how HTML works.

I'd create a button container div and position it where the buttons should go using top and left margin and then stack your buttons in that. That div should put 'em in the right spot and keep 'em corralled.
