relative divs

Is there any problem with putting a relative div inside a table cell?
The relative div would have an absolute div inside it.
thanks

Nope, no problem at all. Its the correct way to do it.

Don't put divs into tables.

Its ok as long as they are either not positioned or the parent <div> is
positioned relatively.

Actually I need to clarify that because you can float them as well which
is positioned I guess. So as long as they are not inserted directly into
the table/cell with a psoition of absolute then its ok.

An absolutely positioned layer inside a relatively positioned <div>
which is inside a table/cell is perfectly valid and will present no
problem x-browser.

I just tested that and it works fine, I always thought this caused problems
on Mac? Is that still the case?

No, its presents no problems at all on Mac. Only if you insert an
absolutely positioned (layer)<div> directly into a table/cell without
first wrapping it in a relatively positioned one will it cause problems.

It's neat and opens up endless possiblities.

Cool, thanks for the insight.

Cheers
