yes i know, for instance i'm aware of the "horizon" method, but it needs an empty div, and i would like to keep the markup clean. Also the negative margin suggestion of Klaus is also a technique that used ot save my life. But now, i'm getting old & tired of fighting against browsers. so, the negative margin technique for me a technique that does not make your site futureproof. besides, i've had issues with it and IE6. _____

Absolutely positioned how? You can still do the whole shebang with CSS. Are you wanting a site to always be a specific length from the sides? From the top? This can already be done with pure CSS. _____ From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alexandre Plennevaux Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 3:53 PM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Re: is working with position:absolute a possible issue? ... unless you want your layout to be centered. In such case you need javascript to feed the position absolute's top and left value. _____ From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Matthews Sent: jeudi 13 septembre 2007 18:05 To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Re: is working with position:absolute a possible issue? I think the question is that if you don't NEED to use javascript, why would you? You can position an element on the page using CSS just fine, without hacks. andy _____ From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alexandre Plennevaux Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 12:48 PM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] is working with position:absolute a possible issue? hello friends, quesiton: i'm working on a very designed website where pixelcrips is a cause for concern, where depending on the screen resolution, elements will be positioned differently. i'm thinking to actually work with a main container with a position:absolute property, and feed its top,left,widht,height values according the the detected user screen dimensions. I know position:absolute is not recommanded, but i don't see any reason why if you use it in a javascript-enabled context, allowing you to detect and reposition things according to the user configuration. But i'm probably missing some knowledge here. Does anyone have arguments against the use of position:absolute for layouts? Performance issues?
