Oh dear. Web, as a media, is not designed to "look the same
everywhere". User's want larger fonts? They get large fonts. User's
want wider windows? They get wider windows. Even leaving aside user
choice, the spec has a fair amount of wiggle room that allows for
differences between rendering.

Lynx? JAWS? Googlebot?

Absolute positioning removes things from the flow. If something of
variable height (e.g. pretty much anything with text in it) isn't in
normal flow, then positioning something below it is next to
impossible.

This is probably a good point to switch to floats.
