Aye,
I use the "absolute-floating-trick" too.... Just be careful of using
left:100% or top:100%, it will work with CSS2Compatibility, but not
CSS1 {IE6, I'm pointin at you!} will balk and anything that's supposed
to float on the right or bottom might wind up 100% of screen width
{unless you're willing to rewrite your DOM-Flow for IE, or implement
measure + absolute sizing routines}...
The niftiest thing I've done like that is building custom soft-borders
that float around a panel. Basically, my xCssFrame takes an integer
width and some color values in it's constructor, generates and injects
stylesheets containing opacity and color information for every pixel
of gradient {once per color->color setup}, and then I can create the
borders using cloneNode(true) {very fast} without the headache of
making actual image files, that implement non-resizable, non run-time
editable ImageResource or ImageBundle options...
I can try to extract as much of it as I can from the rest of my
libraries and send it along if you like. Demo at http://x-ink.info,
just click a menu option to see what I'm taking about when I say
"border gradients". Works on everything except IE6 {even IE7 doesn't
mind looking good every now and again ;-}
