I can give you a general - and maybe confusing - answer. In itself you can have as many A:P (absolute positioned) elements nested in and positioned from inside (an)other A:P element(s) as you like, without ever running into any problems. Regardless of the above ... it is not possible to declare that, or any other, solution "completely free of future problems", because everything tend to depend on everything else in a part of a web page. Change one seemingly unimportant detail, and you may change the entire playing-field. A few potential problems: - The layering (z-index) of the A:P parent set the stacking-level relative to elements that are not part of the nesting. Further layering (z-index'ing) of A:P children doesn't stack them above their parent. - IE/win have quite a few bugs related to stacking of A:P elements relative to R:P (relative positioned) elements that are part of the nesting or completely independent of same nesting. - IE/win also have quite a few bugs related to A:P elements next to floats. - IE6 and older can't handle 4-sides A:P positioning. > Did have one but now resolved thanks to ???, but want to make sure > I'm not likely to meet anymore later... If you avoid what's mentioned above, and any other potential problems, in the future, then the nesting of A:P elements in itself is as safe as can be. FWIW: the reason you had to wait for ??? to give you a solution, is that the quality of the source code is too low... <http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.linkhomes2000.co.uk/index.php> Several potential problems and conflicts in there - apart from it being in breach of the declared standard, and fixing one problem doesn't make the page as a whole work across browser-land. It is easy to back off from such weak cases, so those who want help should at least check quality and try to fix the basics first. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
