absolute

[jagguy]

I can't create a complicated webpage without using absolute positioning for areas.
For ex I want to create 2 top areas of screen width on top of page. Then I want 3 columns with 1st and 3rd columns having 3-4 seperate containers. Without using absolute I am way to confusied to get this happening.

Its probably not as complicated as you think it is. Draw a picture of what you want then attach it.

Is it bettre to draw a whole lot of containers on screen without using absolute though? and how is it better?

Because usually when you use absolute positioning you aren't thinking about other peoples resolutions because the layout will only look good on your screen. Using no absolute positioning ensures that the layout looks some what the same on most resolutions.
