Question on Position Absolutely

It seems that "position absolutely" works pretty weirdly. The other objects
on the page don't have any awareness that they are there. For example, when
I put a picture inside a text block the text should adjust to allow the
picture to be there.

Also, where is the equivalent of Word's Format|Picture|Layout which allows
you to control how the picture interacts with the text.

Thanks,

Bob
 
"Best Practices" says that Absolute Positioning is to be avoided at all
costs!! It's too quirky! Use tables instead.

But it can be used effectively, cross browser, cross platform. It just
takes some experience and understanding to make it work. I use it quite
successfully on my own projects. It is definitely worth studying up on.
