[quote:ee8c1f8c31="smallbeer"]In my designs I've been tending to opt for using floats rather than positioning for my divs. I just find it much easier to create designs than can move with the content that way. The the down side is that you're stuck with the document flow structurally, whereas absolutely positioned elements can be placed anywhere in your markup.
What would be really useful is both absolutely positioned elements that could some how be kept somewhat within the document flow or relatively positioned elements that could be arranged horizontally.
Has anyone been following the progress of CSS3 and seen anything on these lines been discussed?[/quote:ee8c1f8c31]
Have a look at this -
