Re: CSS positioning with Dreamweaver

If you use the FLOAT and CLEAR properties [1] of CSS it will be easier to
keep in tune with the document order. Also with FLOAT and CLEAR you can
resize the text of the document with more consistent results than with
using EM units with left, top, width and height. You can see an example of
using float at:
