Simple question on absolute postiioning

[damon2003]

As I understand if you postion a image absolutely then you take it out of the normal flow.

This works but after that how would I move an image say 20px left from where it is curently. The CSS left and right commands only position an elemnet relatively to the sides of the screen dont they? Can you postion relatively to where an element currently is?

Thanks,

You use relative positioning and then use top, left etc to position it relatively from the original.

Have a problem positioning a swf over an image. Can get it to work in ie 8, but not 7.

Have been trying abosolute positioning, relative positioning, using image as back ground image, but cant get it too work. Using relative leave a black box that I dont what. Abolsoute doesnt work cos the flash ends up somewhere on the other side of the screen and it has to be positioned from the side which mean it moves to the wrong place when scrolling. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks,
