HTML LAYERS using <div>

[ranta]

I am currently trying to dynamicaly build a number of <div>'s which I want to sit sideby side each other as layers over the main page.

I am having two problems, I want to use the float:left property so that they will automaticaly position themselves to the left of each other, however this only works when using relative positioning.

I have tried using relative positioning but the div's don't seem to function properly as layers. Instead of sitting over the top of a number of <tr>'s they simply spread the <tr> to the height of the larges <div>

Can anyone give me any advice???

Cheers people...
