One problem with absolutely positioned layers, not mentioned on this page,
is what happens when the font-size changes. Different browsers will render
the samee font in different ways (depending on how you define the
font-size), so there is no absolute size for the content of a layer - hence
absolute positioning will fail unless you build in sufficient redundant
space for fonts to grow and shrink. Not to mention the *users* changing the
font size for comfortable reading....
You can use <divs> for page layout - some say you should - but IMO use
relative positioning, and the CSS float attribute to bring <divs> side by
side.
