That's if you use margins and padding. The way I understand it, the box model -- http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html -- is problematic because M$ looks at things differently than everyone else (i.e., W3C et al) -- which has led to many different fixes (hacks), such as: http://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html But, if you are trying to absolutely position things, then using absolute without padding and margins is the way to go. For example, I've had a couple of clients who wanted their web sites to look exactly like their designers illustrations without any alteration or slack whatsoever on any browser. The only way I did it was to use absolute positioning. But, like everything else (including this topic), it has it's place. tedd -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sperling.com
