Is this Tag enough?

Hello All,

I am currently using this/or similiar tag to position text, images etc. around a web page.:

Most times it works perfectly. However I have had a few people tell me that images or text have been completely out of position even when using the same browser that works fine for me and others.

I understand that this will only work in Nav. .40 and IE .40 or later.

What could be causing this to happen?
Is there a tag I need to put in the header or body that will correct this?

Just a thought, if I have a common "idElement1" in more than one tag on the same page would that cause this problem?

Is there a similiar or better way to position that I am unaware of?

Thanks for any insight as usual! U guys are always a HUGE help.

id is unique -- you cannot have two instances of the same id on any given page.

And if you're using CSS, get it in the global stylesheet. Absolute positioning can screw up in some browsers, yes.
