Image placement

zero_rollov · #1 02-25-2003, 12:21 PM

So, call me an idiot. I've been building web pages since 95... not professionally, mind you, but I ran into something that's got me chasing my tail.
I've never before tried to do a page with a graphic at the bottom left corner, and now I need to. I'm doing the design for a friend. I've done plenty of design work...
Anyway, I can't get it to go to the edges. It leaves a tiny (or medium, depending on what I try) margin at bottom and left.
The page is at http://www.odditorium.org/phobotest.htm . Please don't hack me. You can look at the source and see how I have it now. I used Dreamweaver to try tofix the problem with "layout tables" or whatever they call them... no lluck. The 'image' in question is now a Flash object, but it did the same thing with a simple .jpg .
So, could someone PLEEEASE give me at least a hint as to how I can drop that stupid object to the absolute bottom of the page? Thanks in advance for your help.

<img src="imgname.jpg" alt="" style="position: absolute; left: 0px; bottom: 0px; ">

Something like this?

Dn't worry - i only found out a few days ago how to do it!

I believe you can get rid of the spaces by adding your left and bottom margins to "0" in the <body> tag.

To cover all bases try this

<body style="margin:0; padding:0;">

<div style="position:abolute; bottom:0; left:0;">
<img ...>
</div>

alternativly you might want to have this image as a background (you didn't explain in detail what the image was or it's use).
In that case try eg

<body style="margin:0; padding:0; background:white url(image.png) no-repeat bottom left fixed">
