Thanx Dawn,

But I need to position a section at the bottom of a page.  Now, not knowing
the size of a users browser window, the only way to do that is to position
it relatively..  And the only method that I know of to do that is the
valign, or vertical-align property of a table (row).

I was just wondering if there was an equivalent method of doing so using
CSS, or Div's, and not Tables.. as I thought one of the advantages of using
CSS was to NOT have to position elements of a page using tables...

Thanx again,

Andrew

You can use absolute positioning with css.  Example code below:
<style type="text/css">

p
{
position: absolute;
top: 400px;
left: 100px
}
</style>

This is positioning the paragraph <p> 400pixels from the top and 100pixels
to the left.
Hope this is helpful.
