Author Image positioning in Firefox
Cate Archer

I'm trying to position images using CSS. I put inline style code in
the <img> tag. Why does this line of code work in IE7 but not in
Firefox 2.0? Anybody got a better way?

<img height="160" width="160" style="position=relative; top=20;
left=20;" src="images/bomb.jpg">

Try replacing the '=' inside the style attribute with ':'.

"top=20" is invalid for another reason than the one Els mentioned.
Non-zero values require a unit - em, %, px, etc.

I question whether the code you are attempting is really what you
*should* be doing, though. Do you know what relative positioning
actually does?

I bet it "works" (sort of) in IE because you are triggering quirks mode.
How about showing us a URL so we can advise you on the best way to get
what you are really trying to achieve?
