Just out of curiosity I would like to know which method you generally use when coding your sites. For example I style without position (which implies static), floats, margins and padding. I only use relative or absolute on rare occasions.

Absolute is a last resort for me. It is good for building fancy headers, but I like to do things with floats if possible.

I too think that position absolute should only be used as last resort. I do use floats though and of course margin and padding. I am wondering how do you style your designs without floats, margin and padding?
Ah … I see you have a flash website …

Yes unfortunately I have a Flash website, that was an exercise for a Flash web class some years ago and I always find something better to do than go in and change it… I have forgotten almost everything except the basics about Flash and never use it to design websites.
My question arose from an article I read on CSS and positioning, where the author did not mention floats at all only, absolute, relative, fixed and static. As I have been troubleshooting for noobs on other forums I noticed that they often use absolute and relative positioning.
