Thanks everyone for your thoughts on positioning vs float... except of course that opinion is divided! As usual, its a matter of finding the best fit for what I want to achieve.
I think I might do a new version of the site using floats over the weekend, just to see if it makes a difference. My real reason for avoiding floats is that I always seem to come unstuck when defining the width of various divs, and end up with odd multi-pixel spaces all over the place - particularly when there are margins, and a mix of fluid and liquid elements. Then again, I'm quite happy with what I have no except for the fact that Opera dies at above 200% zoom. Thanks again. I've only been lurking here for a couple of weeks but all the advice I've seen posted has been great.
