Hello there

I really dont know if this is the right place to ask this question.
Anyway, I would like to hear the opinion of other users about a minor
issue.

Im developing a webpage. Its intended for high traffic. A popular
concept. The page has been planned to be viewable in the same way in
the most popular browsers, but only the most recent ones (IE >= 5.0,
Firefox >=1.0, Opera (preferibly v 9.0), and maybe even on the mac
plattform with latest safari and camino).

So, given the requirements above: are there any disadvantages in making
all the page completly bases on the css absolut positioning? Yes, the
importnt part is if these browsers supports the technique. I think all
of the browsers mentioned above do it.

But Im still wondering if it is really a good thing. Is it a bad habit?
Waht do you think? Doing everything with absolute positioning is the
ideal, given the page's nature, and maybe even the only way to do it.

Take care

Warth
