I think you are right about semantics there. I don't have to have it
as a Sub-nav I guess. I will see how much trouble I have getting this
to work in IE; if it doesn't work I will definitely put it back to the
way you have suggested. I'm not terrible happy about using absolute

I've been struggling with a conflict between an absolutely positioned drop

The main reason I dont use absolute positioning for all my layout is
that most of the sites I build require footers at the base of the page
content.
With every page of differing content length the only way to achieve
this is to float and then clear for the footer.
Thats just me. There are wiser

Hi Greg,
Although it's an interesting thing you're trying to do. I think it's a
bit hacky. While it's seem table-like it's actually a graph and I'd
probably consider a few other options.
1. do the third column with images
2. do the entire graph as one big image
or
3. use SVG

Hi all,
I've just used a little absolute positioning inside an div for the first time
in years.
Is it common practice to add position:relative to the body element to get
relative objects to behave when resizing the browser?

Hello!
I want to position an element at the top right corner of the document

In standards based browsers this is easy using

element disappears in IE. I can't

The select issue is an IE bug. As far as I know, there's no workaround.
With the flash, I believe you have to set a property on your embed tag
(wMode='opaque', but don't quote me on that). I'm not very familiar with
Flash.

that in Firefox and IE (on XP) the image doesn't show up in exactly the

Thanks for the tip. The use of tables is my client's request. He's too

to convince him otherwise, but he was firm. The inline styles are just

Its part of the spec I believe. An element is absolutly positioned
within it's containing element ( which I think has to be block level
for obvious reasons ). A basic example is that a single absolutly
positioned element ( say a div#example ) within the body tag is
positioned to the body tag which
Just give the element which you want to position the other element
relative to a poistion of relative and then give the inner elemennt a
position of absolute and specify toop,right etc...
example:
div#container {position:relative;}
div#container img.example {position: absolute; top:0; right:0;}
Pardon my hasty question, but I'm off to bed and wanted to get this off
my chest before doing so...
When doing absolute positioning, can it be done so that it's based on a
table or div rather than the window itself? You can see at
http://www.drzeus.net/clients/stevierays/ that I have an image
If an element (your image) is positioned with absolute, inside another
element (a div) that is positioned with relative (it is easy to make
divs center-align), it should follow the absolute positioning, but
still be in the div.

When done properly, with due care for which parent container it uses,
absolute positioning yields a lot more robust results, imho. It would be
dangerous to simply dismiss absolute positioning in favour of floats.
You've just got to be careful in how you position things, to avoid
potential
