div layout

[Stephen68]

Hello all!

 

I'm using PHP to query some information from a DB. I then wanted to loop through the results and have them display

3 wide and however many down I need. I wanted to try and do this with CSS so I made this container code I guess it would

be called.

 

#item_container {
position:relative;
width:158px;
height:193px;
z-index:2;
}

 

But I'm not sure how to get them to go side by side, if I use absolute they just all stack on top of each other. and Relative

just list one under the other straight down the page. Am I missing something or do I have to figure out how to put a location

value in there?

 

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

Stephen

I failed to say that the site is laid out in tables, so the information that I'm trying to get side by side is located

in a table cell.

Figured it out I just needed to add a float value in there, works great not.

 

#item_container {
float:left;
text-align:center;
width:158px;
height:193px;
border:dashed;
border-color:#F00;
z-index:2;
}

Cheers!
