How to "position" and "size" a class object

Hi Everybody,

I have created a class called ".LogInBox"
It is a single-purpose container to allow a user to sign-in to a web site.

My questions are:

  • I need to control the size of the ".LogInBox" container. How do I do that?

  • I would also like to manage where this box might appear on the html page. Can I do that?

  • It would also be nice to allow a user to reposition the ".LogInBox" container, just as a Microsoft window can be moved around. Does that even make sense?

Many, many Thanks for even reading this inquiry,

Paul

As with any rectangle the size is done by assigning a height and a width.
Where it appears is done using margins and maybe floats. Hard to answer without your code.
This is a waste of time and totally unnecessary.
FYI - You should add a "join the community" to the box.

Hi OldMan,

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my inquiry.

If you wouldn't mind, I do not quite understand:

I don't understand why it might be a waste of time and unnecessary.

Also, how would I add a "join the community"

Again, Many thanks for your time.

Have you ever joined or logged into a site? Do you need to move the box that shows up to log in?
All modern browsers have a "save passwords" or something similar so when you go to one of those sites and click the log-in button your name and password are entered automatically. No need to move things around.

Normally under the log-in words you should add in smaller letters: New to this site? Sign Up
Make the words Sign Up an anchor that goes to your sign-up page.

Using my quote: I made two statements, and answered one here, if you need clarification on positioning you need to give me your code with the miss-placed log-in box.

Thank you for the reply, OldMan.
I retired about a year ago, and because I have about 50 hours a week to occupy myself I decided to learn HTML-CSS-PHP in order to make a web-site the way I Wanted to.
Besides, according to my wife the agreement was "For Better or Worse". NOT for Lunch.
So, thanks again.
And you're right, making my PopUp box "moveable" does look like a lot of effort and a huge waste of time.
So, Thanks again for the time you've spent helping me get up some speed.
