Hi,
absolute positioning is used primarily in dHTML within a div declaration. style = "position:absolute; top:39px; left:32px"
I have never seen it "absolutely" position anything in the manner that you probably want because of other elements on the page. However, if you want to see 3 examples (all within tables, but that really doesn't matter except for referencing), go to my cut&paste javascript site: http://members.aol.com/grassblad

Josh,
If you go to this page, you can look at the source code and see how it works. Basically, there are 3 boxes positioned with coordinates. Two of the boxes have pics in them and the third is the text box. They are completely outside of any tables. By changing the coordinates, can move the pics anywhere on the page, including overlapping.
