No, relative positioning is not an alternative for absolute positioning. What you need to start with, is no positioning at all. Then you will see that divs grow when they have more content. Then, you may want to bring some structure into the page, by floating a few elements. And then... you will run into things you want and ask here, and then we'll most likely have answers that are easy to understand and implement :-) Just remember: don't use absolute or relative positioning, until you've mastered normal styles and floats and clears. > I also don't understand why absolute positioning is fragile.
