Hello Gunlaug,     

It was foretold that on 8-6-2005 @ 02:07:27 GMT+0200 (which was
2:07:27 where I live) Gunlaug Sørtun would write:

<snipped a bit>

GS> Floating divs affect the flow - AP divs don't.

From the specs:
  
"In  the  absolute  positioning  model, a box is explicitly offset with
respect  to  its  containing block. It is removed from the normal flow
entirely (it has no impact on later siblings)"

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#absolutely-positioned

The main difference between floats and AP is that floats have their
own rules they live by.

I'm sure somebody here will be pleased enough to go in more detail.

 Luc
