  • 0

I recently took up learning some css… and I am getting stuck on some very basic hurdles.

I can’t get the top and left properties to work on this basic page that I was creating.

Below is all the code for that page… all the properties work except the top and left. 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>
<head>
    <style type="text/css">
        #firstdiv {border: 2px solid red;
                    position: absolute;
                    top:15px; 
                    left:25px:}
                #seconddiv {border: 2px solid green;
                    position: absolute;
                    top:65px; 
                    left:5px:}
    </style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="firstdiv">This is my first div </div>
<div id="seconddiv">This is my second div</div>
</body>
</html>

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated! = D

    You have colons after left instead of semi-colons

    #firstdiv {
    border: 2px solid red;
    position: absolute;
    top:15px; 
    left:25px;
} 
#seconddiv {
    border: 2px solid green; 
    position: absolute; 
    top:65px; 
    left:5px;
}
