This question is asked by one of my students and I want to enlighten him with an example:
"Why we should not create site layout by Dreamweaver's AP Div button , it's easier to make layout with AP Div instead Float+margin+padding and if this method is not correct then why it's not good method and why Adobe giving this button in Dreamweaver to make layout even if it's not correct way to make layout?"
Can anyone explain, with an example simple and concise, why position:absolute should not be used for positioning everything?
Should we ever use it to position layout elements (#wrapper, #header, #footer, #mainContent, #sidebar etc.)?
What problem we can have if we make a layout with position:absolute using Dreamweaver AP div button a toolbar button image http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/images/draw_layer_button.gif?
I know position:absolute is not good but I am unable to explain nicely or provide any examples.
