Can we make cross browser css layouts with CSS positioning, without using float? What are the bad and good points of usin css positioning over Float+margin+padding? I want to make layout compatible with all A-Grade Browser and with IE6 Also? IN dreamweaver we have a layer functionaliy to make css layout quickly but it’s uses absolution position. is this technique bad?
If you don’t care how it looks if the browser is larger or smaller than you designed for then absolute positioning it great. 🙂
But, in most cases, if you are designing for a browser that may be on a 17″ – 30″ monitors, so it may be fullscreen, then float is helpful.
Now, if you are changing the positions to scale to the size of the window dynamically, and can handle a resize, then absolute will work well.
I think absolute positioning would be more work than it is worth, if you want to get rid of float.
