Getting around blocked CSS properties in lookups

[Mimii]

Hmm.. so a year ago my lookup was fine. Now the position tag is one of the filtered properties (E.g. position: absolute;) so now I cannot edit my profile without removing the position tags and majorly messing up my lookup.

 

Anyone know a way around this? There are no spaces, I tried that already. :(

I personaly replaced all my "position" with "margin", but my lookups are centered.

 

#template_nav {
margin: -20px auto 0px -50px;
padding: 0px; 
width: 730px;
} 

 

In the above example, I found that having the 'auto' is very important to position the navigation correctly...

 

 

#about {

border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;

padding: 5px;

margin-top: 230px;

background-color: #000000;

filter: alpha(opacity=70);

opacity: 0.70;

margin-right: 7px;

}}/code]

 

In above example, I used a margin top to move the div in place.

 

It always works for my lookies, but as I said, never tried to have them aligned to the left.

As far as I know, there is no hack that gets around the 'position' filter. With CSS, there are workarounds, but I have just learned the hard way that I have to compromise my artistic graphic design vision when I'm coding CSS for Neopets. *sniffles*

 

My advice to you is to tinker and experiment with code (w3schools.com is a great place to learn more)...and when all else fails, compromise. :)

 

p.s. If you want a left-aligned page, simply add this code:

 

#main{margin-left:0px;}

 

That usually does the trick. Good luck :)

As you know, I am certainly no expert with coding, but this site is the one I used to fix all my pages when the nasty position monster reared its ugly head.

Alrighty, I can certainly work with margins instead but I'm rather put-out that I can't use positioning now after all this time. Curse you, Neopets! :P

 

Thanks for the replies, all. :)
