Ladies and Gentlemen,
The front page of this site: http://www.fairwayfunds.com/ uses flash,
I've attempted to centre the content using:
DIV.box {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 10%;
width:80%;
height:80%;
margin-left: -40%;
z-index: 10;
}
DIV.behind {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 10%;
width: 80%;
height: 80%;
margin-left: -40%;
background-color: #ffffff;
color: #000000;
font-size: 0.8em;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
z-index: 1;
}
Then within the flash parameters I specify 100% with and height, thereby I'm
hoping I get a nice box in the centre of the screen with their movie in it.
As you can see, I've also specified another layer, with a lower z-index for
those that can't see the flash, or it takes a while to load, and perhaps for
search engines. This should "disappear", once/if the flash movie has loaded.
I've checked in Win MX, Opera 6.01 and IE 5.5. Unfortunately the Mac laptop
is out of the office today, so I can't see that at the moment, and the Linux
machine is working in command line mode only - really must fix X! - so I'd
be grateful for your input.
Incidentally, this is there old site: http://www.fipinc.com/. I hope I've
improved things a little; the quarterly reports I've retained as HTML, and
are at http://www.fairwayfunds.com/sgef/ and
http://www.fairwayfunds.com/stafford/.
It's a table free layout, and again would appreciate any comments - and
suggestions for solutions if there are problems!
Kind regards,
Liam Delahunty
