Absolute positioning

[Pedrouk]

To me the absolute positioning feature of a picture/small block of text etc seems flawed. If someone views via Internet Explorer and changes text size in view, it can cause overlapping. The text grows, and the absolute object remain static.
Does absolute positioning assume that every person that views your site has IE text set to medium ?!Thats quite an assumption.
Or is there a way to make your text immune to people's attempts to change text size on IE.

It is probably more for creating hypertext applications (hta) where you can't set the text size. I use it quite a bit on HTAs but never on web pages.

If you don't know what an HTA is, just write a "hello world" html file and change the extension from .htm to .hta. Then double click on the file. A window will pop up with "hello world". You can't change its text size.
