Ah, now I understand the meaning of your post.
You were merely questioning if the problem was really an HTML problem,
combined with noting that the OP would have done better if he'd
explained the full details, nature, reasoning and motives for his
question.
Am I close?
Well, my objection was not with that, but with the attitude and the
manner of saying what you tried to say. I didn't think there was a
reason to accuse the OP of showing "childish code" or plainly telling
him he is "not making any sense", followed by "try explaining the
problem you have", as if he hadn't tried that (and succeeded) already
in the two posts he made in the thread.
On a sidenote, I think there is no harm in people asking things in
alt.html because they didn't realize the solution would have been
better found outside the constraints of HTML code. It's often by
asking the wrong question in the wrong place, that one finds out what
the real problem is. IMO, the OP merely thought he might be able to
find the solution in an HTML or CSS property, and decided to ask in
alt.html.
