Question

I want to set width and height to my div in css, but it will only work if I have position:absolute and I dont want to have that. Cause when I have position:absolute it wont work out so good on other screens. And I want so it stays that width even if I dont have any text or something! 🙂

look:

.menu {
width:450px;
height:300px;
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-moz-border-radius: 7px;
-webkit-border-radius: 7px;
border-radius: 7px;
-khtml-border-radius: 7px;
}

but I dont get anything from that…

Thanks! 🙂

You don’t need to declare position:absolute in order to have width and heightworking. The only restriction is, it has to be a block-level element, which div is by default. So it should work without problems.

Maybe you have display:inline declared on it? If you have so, change it to display:inline-block; or omit the display entirely, depending on your markup.
