[WSG] Div-based design example

[John Horner]

A friend of mine is working on a div-based design, and as far as I 
can see, has pretty much straight away run up against some common 
problems for CSS-P newbies.

You can see a kind of stripped-down version of it here:
     http://johnhorner.nu/wsg/
and essentially the problems are that the DIVs are fine as long as 
the content fits. So if I hit Apple-Plus (increase font size) twice, 
the font size is too big and two things happen, the upper DIV starts 
to slide behind the lower ones, and the lower ones start to overlap 
the footer. This is in FireFox by the way.

What would members recommend? Does this design, for instance, require 
relative, not absolute positioning?
