Hi Anura,
Personally, I go with floats every time.
Absolute positioning relies on the display size too much.
It also allows coders to apply "fixes" to the document flow.
Have you considered the documents appearance on a 160px wide PDA?
How about a Braille reader?

Subject: [WSG] Absolute positioning vs floats
I noticed someone made the comment that the preferred floats to absolute positioning.
I have just created a new design using absolute positioning. It 'seems' to work across
IE, Mozilla, Opera and latest Netscape (I'm trying to forget about NS4.7).
But what is the consensus amongst my esteemed colleagues here? Am I walking into a
trap? Are there flaws in absolute positioning so terrible that something will break
dreadfully somewhere?
