Absolute positioning should position from the top/left of whatever
absolute element is containing it, usually this is the body.
However, if you specifiy an element as being absolute but don't feed it
a top/left, it will stay positioned wherever it is on the page (but
outside of the content

A parent can have either absolute or relative positioning to provide
positional context for an absolute child.

I've got a bit of a problem. And my CSS isn't working either ;0)
Basically I want to style links with little icons (an envelope for email
links, earth icon for web links, download icon for downloadable
documents etc) but am getting into trouble where the child of the link
is just an image,

The concept has been mooted before, but I'm not aware its been formally

Your only option (that I can think of) is something like:

Thanks Lea, I was afraid of that! I'll see what I can do, but some
experiments using that idea have failed miserably.
You say it may not have been proposed to the W3C, do people think it
would be a useful addition to some future version of CSS? I certainly
do.

Hi Micky,
Not sure I follow..
The dt is the signified (the object itself) and the signifiers (dds)
don't so much as 'define' it in the strict sense, but act as a
representation of the concept.
In your example, Chien, Perro, Inu are representations of the concept
of 'dog' and therefore would
