position of #contentwrapper

DHTML Billboard script IE NS6! The only way I've been able to control the position of this scroller is to put it in div tags the css doesn't have a positioning element. Can someone help me put this baby in the right place? Thanks, Dennis

The content is already contained by a div element, so there's no need to add another.

the css doesn't have a positioning element.

As a technical aside, CSS doesn't have elements at all. However, it certainly does have properties related to positioning.

A simple solution would be to absolutely-position the container. You'd do this by modifying the rule defined by the selector, #contentwrapper:

#contentwrapper {
  /* Existing declarations */

  position: absolute;
  /* Use the left/right and top/bottom properties to
   * position the element. All values except zero (0)
   * should be followed by a unit. For example,
   *
   * left: 0;
   * top: 12em;
   *
   * One em is the same as the font size, so 12em is
   * approximately the length of twelve lines.
   *
   * right: 5px;
   * bottom: 5px;
   */
}

There are other positioning schemes that might be more appropriate. It depends on the design you're attempting to realise.
