relative vs absolute positioning

Hello all

I am delving into a project for a friend of mine using CSS and shying away from tables. I don’t have anything posted online yet- just messing around at home. I was wondering if someone can explain to me and provide and online example of both relative and absolute positioning – and when to use each.

Thanks!

There is no real way to define which is better or worse becuase the two compliment eachother, and can be used interchangeably and together as a function of your layout requirements.

thanks 1beb. Google answers friggin' everything. I knew they compliment each other, I just am not sure how each works. Ill chec out gogle tonight after work. Thnx.

Well, explaining how they work is best left to w3c ( http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visur...itioning-scheme ) that is a link to the currentt CSS2 standards for handling and proper usage of relative and absolute positioning. If you have questions about that document please do reply

thanks guy. Ill let you know how it goes

I found the links at http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/ to be helpful when I was discovering css.
