CSS browser resize

Relative positioning works from the place the browser would normally render the element in the normal flow of the document.

So if you've been relatively positioning everything with regards to their layout in your browser size, when you resize the window things are eventually going to get messed (unfortunately).

This is because if you increase/decrease the size of the browser, elements are going to wrap/unwrap, decrease in with & increase in height (if you're not specifiying it pixel widths).

I'm sorry to tell you that the only easy solution is to wrap all you're work so far in a <div> with a specified width where the content looks like you want.

The short answer? Yes, there is a way around this. "Oh", you say, "and what way is that?" Well, your question was of the type "how long is a string?" Let's see the string, or in this case a link to the mis-behaving page.

Read Eric Raymond's howto article. Applying the lessons learned there will get you better and faster answers. You can learn a little about ESR by reading Dev Shed's own PDF e-zine, "Plug In" for this month.
