I have made a few changes to the page.
http://www.ideadesigners.com/idv2/index.html
It now contains super-divs that are relatively stacked. However I
realised that position:relative is relative to the divs position in
'normal flow'. In the case of the example page this would mean that the
top:(n)px position of my 'right' super-div would be 0px (i.e. position
in 'normal flow') minus the height of my left super-div in order to
position the right div at the same level as the left.
Why not use postion:absolute you ask?
Well I would like to be able to put a footer on the page. This cannot be
position:absolute because the left and right super-divs are variable in
height *and* clear:both only seems to work if I am using objects that
are still tied to normal flow (position:static or position:relative)
Any thoughts on how I can resolve this?
