Stephen, Relative positioning is mainly used to cure IE bugs, occasionally to shift elements from their normal position, but that's it. It's not used for creating columnar layouts because the element that is shifted leaves the space it would have taken up behind, which would create huge gaps in most designs. There are only three ways to create columnar layouts with CSS: 1. Floats 2. Absolute positioning (problematic) 3. Table display values (not supported by IE, even 7, so not in use much yet) One other thing: please make sure to trim your posts. The practice of including an entire quoted message below your added comments is really increases the size of your messages, making digests go out much more frequently. You must trim out all quoted material to which you are not directly replying, then add your comments above (discouraged) or below (greatly encouraged) the quoted material. This will really reduce the size of your messages and make many other people on the list a little happier. It's part of the list policies; see <http://www.css-discuss.org/policies.html>.
