How to align elements on the inside edge of a <div> tag?

How do I align an element on the inside edge of a tag? That is, so that it works like absolute positioning but only inside the tag. I think a way it would work is if it were possible to force the element to think the tag was the actual page, but I don't know if this is possible/ideal.

How is scrollTop in JQuery supposed to function?

I'm confused about scrollTop(). jQuery docs say it should be displaying a number that represents the scrollTop offset for a given element, but as it does in my own script, on their demo it returns "0". Setting the scrollTop manually works great, as does using the $(window).scrollTop() command. Does scrollTop() ONLY return values asso...

Is CSS layout really as delicate as it seems to be?

I have been experimenting with the Majestic template at freecsstemplates.org. So far so good; I really like the look (or to be more specific, my boss really likes the look). However, I am noticing that the CSS that drives this template seems very brittle; small changes can cause really radical breakage. In particular, if I reduce the...

External stylesheet content gets included on page somehow

Example: <head><link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="external.css" /></head> Renders as: <head><style type...

Using max-height on DIV element

I have a DIV element that is set to contain a table element. The table element will have anywhere from 0 to upwards of 350 rows.
