Confused about the alignment

[sparshdharam]

Hi all,

I have a code like this..

<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD width='350' height='450'>

<div id="parah1" onmousedown="return eval(Drag.init(this,0,1,0,303,400));" onclick="changeCapturedId(this.id);" style="position: absolute; left: 235px; top: 285px;">

Dharmendra

</div>

</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

Here the left position is starting from the browser window. Where as i want it to start from the <TD> tag.

i mean left:250px means 250px from the <TD> tag not from the window.

Can any one help me please..

Regards
Dharam

padding in the td left 250 might work, add style="padding-left:250px;" off the top of my head, didnt really understand what your tring to do.

<div id="parah1" onmousedown="return eval(Drag.init(this,0,1,0,303,400));" 
onclick="changeCapturedId(this.id);" style="margin-left: 235px; margin-top: 285px;">

("Position: absolute" takes an element out of the normal document flow, so "left:" and "top:" are not relative to the containing element, but to the overall page.)
