Relative positioning with CSS

[lajones3]

Can anyone point me in the right direction for some information/tutorials on relative positioning. I made the switch to css and started with absolute positioning.

I can see the problems of text resizing.

any good resources?

Thanks,

Good luck mate, and congratulations for seeing the light of CSS.

I pulled this from that site you recommended...

"relative An element with position: relative moves an element relative to its normal position, so "left:20" adds 20 pixels to the element's LEFT position"

I was hoping to be able to use relative positioning to compensate for users resizing text. So that an image would move relative to the text layer. ie. as text gets bigger, images are moved down so everything stays in alignment.

Is there something else I would use to keep my page design "fluid" when users resize text?

Thanks,

Declaring widths, margins, padding, etc in ems helps keep you site liquid.
