Relative positioning with layers...

[Guest]

Hi,

I have done my site with absolute positioned layers, and I have decided that
it would be better suited to have relative positioning. However, when I
select relative positoning in FP 2003, the control of the layer is very
diffrent. Can someone tell me how to get the layer where I need it to be?

Thank you,
Vic

Howdy.

Relative positioning means the browser figures out where
all the elements on your page would naturally flow, and
then measures offsets from those positions.

If that's not what you want, don't use relative
positioning.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of either absolute or
relative positioning. I have a lot more success using
tables. However, I realize that there seems to be a
growing faction that favors positioning.
