I have a need to place a <DIV> in an absolute location on a page, but the absolute location changes depending on text displayed elsewhere on the page. Is there any method for determining the vertical location of text or objects just written to the page or about to be written to the page?

Content within a <div> tag yes EG:
<div name="legend" id="legend" style="position: absolute; top: 340px; left: 700px; visibility: show;">Some text</div>

Not in a <div> tag - use tables.

BTW: Absolute locations do not change as a result of text outside the <div> tag. If it does I would say its not absolutly positioned.
