But I'm not very good at CSS and such. So, I've created a layout that I like alot, but my menu I've been trying to be overlayed over an image, which is the background of a div, it's a text menu and i just can't figure out how to center and align it to the bottom. The link to the site is subfuscintent.com/layout.php.

The codes around the menu tag and header div are...

menu {
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 22px;
color: #000000;
}

div#header {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
background: url(http://www.subfuscintent.com/images/header.gif);
width: 659px;
height: 131px;
}
'

any help would be sooo incredibly appreciated! thank you!!

to align texts to the center and the bottom you can use

menu { text-align:center; margin-bottom:0px; }

to move it over to the top of every div then use z-index:2; like so:

menu { text-align:center; margin-bottom:0px; z-index:2; }

or assign a menu class over the Div ID....

Did you even look at what he's trying to do, demonhale??? Or did he change it since you posted?

So, what you want is the menu to align to the bottom of that image that's fading out there, right? The best way to do that would be to just add some padding to the top of the div so it pushes the text down to where you want it to be. Or did you fix it already? The message on the site says that it is???

To me it looks like he fixed it, but forgot to say 'thank you' Wink
