I was getting reaquanted with 'A List Apart's tutorial on css shadows. and i noticed they used negative margins for pulling out the image. I first asked myself, Why not use negative relative positioning? Is it a matter of choice? At first i thought, "Relative positioning adds possibility that you might need an extra parent div to set positioning context, but quickly realized relative positioning doesnt need that." Is it cause the next sibling item after the item that uses relative positioning will appear in normal flow (thus annoying whitespace between siblings), thus negative margins is more natural since next item will be placed right after it [and nullifying my entire question since pointless to use relative positioning then for comparision]? I guess my question would make more sense if i was comparing absolute positioning when an extra semantic div is added to establish positioning context (with position:relative) and the image underneith uses absolute negative positioning to pull image up. but i guess i answered my own question, it adds more complex code?
