I was doing the tutorials from Halls for the MMO 1 year ago and got stuck with the CSS and quit. Now I picked it up again and got stuck again on CSS.
Most of you are wondering how someone can get stuck on CSS, its so simple! I'm wondering that too!
 
 Okay this is my problem. Im at the 8a and b videos and made my style sheet styl.css then I made the div tags the same as done in the videos
Code: Select all
body {
	background-color: #ffffff;
}
#login {
	position:absolute;
	left:0px;
	top:0px;
	width:800px;
	height:150px;
	z-index:1;
}
#login2 {
        position:absolute;
        left:0px;
        top:200px;
        width:800px;
        height:150px;
        z-index:1;
}
#player {
        position:absolute;
        left:400;
        top:200px
        width:450px;
        height:450px;
        z-index:3;
}
#creature {
          position:absolute;
          left:400;
          top:400px;
          width:450px;
          height:450px;
          z-index:3;
}
#logout {
        position:absolute;
        left:10px;
        top:10px;
        width:150px;
        height:150px;
        z-index:3;
}
