<DIV><SPAN class=046464217-13092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=046464217-13092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=046464217-13092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=046464217-13092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone have
arguments against the use of position:absolute for layouts? Performance
issues?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
