[TriLUG] wtf? html spew...

[David Rasch]

The positioning for this one is pretty easy.   It's contained in the 
style tags--see below.

<style>
#news 
{font-family:arial;font-size:14;position:absolute;top:200;left:300;background-color:a6ccf4;height:120;text-align:center;padding-left:10;padding-right:10;}
</style>

It's using "position:absolute" and "top: 200" and "left:300".  If you 
were to remove all these parts of the style above you could have it 
display in the normal flow of your document, just like a "<table>" would 
without any "align" property.  You can also change the "height: 120" to 
be a height desired.
