Hi tamtam18,
you won't get constantly good results when you change beetween absolute
and automatic positioning on one page. The page could look good for some
content, but you never can be sure for all content. The only exception I
can think of is a page content with automatic positioning and additonal
header and/or footer with absolute positioning. In this case you have to
make sure that the box for the header and footer is positioned outside of
the area which is used by automatic positioning.
Short answer for your problem. If you have to use absolute positioning on
a page, you have to use it everywhere on it to avoid problems.
Best regards
Benjamin

Yes, of course.

That's not possible.
