Absolute and relative positioning
There is a great article at http://www.wpdfd.com/editorial/wpd0904news.htm#feature
which discusses the positioning (relative and absolute) in CSS. The
author suggests that absolute and relative positioning can be used in
conjunction to create very flexible and interesting layouts.
Typically I use relative positioning in my layouts because this
makes the design more flexible for different browsers, screen
resolutions, and monitor sizes. However, this articles talks about
using the relative and absolute positioning in tandem to achieve
certain effects. It is very neat and something I will have to try out
in the near future.
