| Not true. It does support absolute positioning, albeit badly.
Try this:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE> Positioning test </TITLE></HEAD>
<STYLE>
P { font-family:"Arial, sans-serif"; font-size:10pt}
P.bluetext { font-weight:bold; color:darkblue; font-size:11pt}
P.reverse { font-weight:bold; color:white; font-size:10pt}
H2 { font-family:"Arial, sans-serif"; font-size:18pt;
font-weight:bold; color:darkblue}
</STYLE>
<BODY>
<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; top:0; left:400; width:150; height:300;
background:darkblue">
<IMG SRC="myimage.gif" STYLE="position:absolute; top:20; left:25">
<CENTER>
<P CLASS=reverse STYLE="margin-top:30">Sponsored by<BR>Big Brother</P>
</CENTER>
</DIV>
<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; top:245; width:400; left=:0">

Rendered correctly in Explorer.
Mozilla also can, Netscape - can't.

And?
Microsoft and Konqueror render correctly.
Again speaking about Netscape? Well, IMHO, with Netscape's marketshare
dropping from 80% to current 15%, there is no reason to worry about Netscape.
Konqueror should take care about Linux/FreeBSD users, and that's all the
story.

No, I don't. Thanks. (well, I keep it on computer for testing purposes, both
Win98 and linux versions)

| This is true. Although Open Source, Mozilla is strictly controlled by

Thanks for URL. I will check. :-)

At least one point where we agreed.
