Good afternoon Betsy,  
  
It was foretold that on 18/09/2008 @ 08:30:14 GMT-0700 (PDT) (which
was 12:30:14 where I live) Betsy would write:

You can use AP but here are some disadvantages of Absolute
Positioning:

[1]Elements  can  end  up  overlapping  if  due  care  is  not taken -
especially when the user dramatically resizes the page.

[2]The  footer  problem.  If  you  have  a  layout which uses absolute
positioning  for  one  of  the  columns, there is no way of creating a
footer  that spans the whole of the bottom of the page without risk of
it  being  overlapped  by the absolutely positioned column should that
column  be  longer  than  the  non-positioned  column.

The  solution  is  either to ensure the static column has more content
than  the absolute positioned one, or to restrict the footer to taking
up  space  at the bottom of the static column rather than spanning the
whole page
