Fairly new to css...better late than never

Today I discovered position:absolute....lol...

I have a table and I want to display some text in, I also want to display an image in there as well, when I position:absolute the image, the text just runs throught the pic...how can the get it to detect the pic and just wrap around it

here is the css im using

.Pic
{
position:absolute;
left:100px;
top:150px;

}

also there is a table in the main table that Im having the same problem with

If you want to wrap the text around the image, you need to float it. Try this instead:

.Pic {
   float: left;
}

Hope this helps,

When you absolutely position elements they are taken out of the normal document flow and it will not effect other elements in the document.
