Sorry to post so late, and I think you have already solved it, but SitePoint's HTML Utopia: Designing without tables using CSS by Dan Schafer is still a pretty good reference - all the CSS properties up to CSS2 are listed at the back. The 'top' property is prolly the one you need. (You can use either absolute or relative positioning: using absolute positioning the positioning context is either to the body element or to the content area of the element's nearest ancestor, if that has a position property other than static)
The book (still one of my 'bibles' :o)) will also explain the concept of 'inheritance' in CSS terms if you're not familiar with that. My copy was the first edition, pub. 2003, but I'm sure they'll have brought out more up-do-date editions since then!

I've been working on a site which was a CSS mess. There's a lot of useful pointers here, which should help me tidy things up.
