Default question about positioning

I am having a problem with my layout; in order to get everything to lay correctly I have absolutely positioned all elements on the page.

Is this really bad?

Everything seems to work fine but I am concerned that the absolute positioning will turn out to be a bad thing.

Thanks for any advice!

As a rule of thumb, I only tend to use ap when I cannot position the element relatively.

Indeed, I also use absolute positioning since there is less chance of the ccs being missinterpreted in different browsers and such.

So no, it's not a bad thing, it tends to be more work though.

Even I am also using the absolutely positioned all elements on the page and it is nothing bad about that. I think it will not effected browsers as well.
