DIV dynamic positioning

[P-Dog]

Hi, I've been having trouble trying to dynamically position DIV layers on
the page.

Let's say I want to place the layer the (screen height) / 2 down the screen.
So if my screen res is 640x480, it will place the layer object at 240 pixels
down the screen, and if the screen res is 800x600, it will place the layer
300 pixels down the screen.

Getting screen res is no problem. Doing dynamic positioning is what is bothering
me

What I did at first (but it didn't work) was I made a javascript init() function
that takes the DIV ID and adjusts the height, and this would be run when
the page loads. However, this didn't work, as nothing was set in the correct
position at all. There was another method which involved using the document.writeout
function, but I don't want to use any document.writeOut functions either.
So can anyone give me advice on this? Thanks

Tables?
being able to control the cells, thier height and width and where data appears
in them might solve your problem.

In these cases I wouldn't I'd use %'s for position, that way it adjusts when
the user has different resolutions.
