/As always a clickable link to your page in question is always advisable.../ The best source for confirmation is the CSS specs proper-- <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#absolute-positioning> There is a good explanation of absolute positioning here: <http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/default4.asp> For the most part compliant browsers follow the CSS specifications. IE 7.0 sometimes follows these specifications. One never quite knows what IE 6.0 may do in any given situation...
