My question is almost stupid because I think I know the answer but I wanna be sure. Does it exist a mechanism to be able to put a tag at a specific location. I mean, I can set the coordinates X and Y of a tag. Maybe this specific tag should be placed in a special parent tag?

Do you know an another way to do this?

An example should be something like this : 

<html>
  <body>
    <div id="container" >
      <img src="..."  x="40" y="0" />
      <img src="..."  x=70" y ="10"/>
         ....
    </div>
   ....

Many thanks for you attention,

Bat

    Well, if you want an element to be placed at a specific location on the page, you can give it position: absolute in CSS, together with it’s position relative to the last parent element that has a position value of relative or absolute.

    For instance, with this HTML

    <div id="square"></div>

    Can be placed 100px off the top and left of the page with this CSS

    #square {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 100px;
  left: 100px;
}

    Given your example, no, not entirely. You can use the style attribute for the same effect though: 

    <div id="square" style="top: 100px; left: 100px;"></div>

    Assuming #square has position: absolute applied to it from a stylesheet already. It’s best however if you incorporated this into a stylesheet, since content and presentation should be separate.
