Absolute positions

[SFADuncan]

Morning Experts!

Have finally bitten the bullet and am refusing to use tables any more! All seems straight forward (although the inconsistencies between IE and Firefox are a bit of a shock!)

Anyway, my problem...: we have a website editor which works by (when an editor signs in) completely replicating the website below a toolbar (no frames) ie everything needs to be pushed down.

My issue is, I think, for this to work, we can't use absolute positions. (Is this right?) If so, with some of our templates, we're finding it impossible to position things (especially where Firefox is concenrned) without using absolutes. Any ideas?

Absolute positions are not the best way to create tableless designs. Try to use relative positions. My first tableless design was absolute positioned too but for now I never use them again.

That's great.... I'm glad to hear that.... we've been slaving away trying to avoid using absolute positions (and were beginning to wonder if this was the cause of our problems!) But following your response, we will carry on doing so.... appreciate your help.
