Generally giving various elements "position:relative" will do it.

Here's a related gem that I've been using quite a bit recently...

<div id="wrap">
<div id="content">
...
</div>
<div id="nav">
...
</div>
</div>
<style type="text/css">

/* fairly simple 2-column layout... */
#wrap
{
position: relative;
}
#content
{
margin: 0 0 0 200px;
}
#nav
{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 200px;
border-right: 1px solid;
}

/* PROBLEM: when #nav is very long, and #content is very short, then
MSIE users won't be able to scroll down the page to see the bottom of
#nav! */

#nav * { zoom: 1; } /* fix */

</style>
