Learn CSS positioning in ten steps

CSS positioning

Here’s an interactive tutorial I’m working on:

Learn CSS Positioning in ten steps

I’m using it to give some CSS and HTML training today. It uses a customized version of my JavaScript tabs interface and triggers a styleswitcher each time you switch tabs, so you can see the CSS change right on the page.

It’s a work in progress, so let me know if you have any suggestions.

    coming from tables and flash CSS is clean and beautifull but a pain to learn.

    I’m veru grateful abou the part 4 position:relative + position:absolute.
    This is the first time I saw how nested div’s work on each other.
    However, if you want to attach a background-image to the containing div (with position: relative) it is important to give the containing div height, otherwise all the contained div’s do not make up any height, and the background disappears.

    This puts all other tutorials on this topic I’ve seen so far to shame.
