thanks Glen, i'm indeed done with a good working prototype (developed to study the interface & ergonomy concepts we 've put in ) but i figured i would make my life easier with my fellow "pixel fuc*ing experts" designers by setting everything in absolute position

I love using position absolute. Good site on the subject: HYPERLINK "http://www.positioniseverything.net/"http://www.positioniseverything.net/ Jack Slocum had described to me that using position:absolute does have performance issues if you have ALOT of things positioned. His grids, and layouts used to use a ton of elements (hundreds) positioned that way. He noticed significant improvements when he reduced that number dramatically. You need to get your job done first ad foremost. Then optimize. :) Glen On 9/13/07, Alexandre Plennevaux <HYPERLINK "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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?
