I many time see that if I want to display more than one div or table in same vertical position this problem occur( I also see this effect in many corporate sites).

To continue more than one div or table like element in same vertical position, generally designer use display:inline. but this code not work fine because of its other effect on display. So Designer use second path, they place position:relative. and write top:-XXpx; left:-XXpx (here xx is some value) which place other element in same line.

Designer always try to feet all content in clients requirement's resolution. Here by using above code, designer will set all element within resolution(Means user has to minimum scroll the page) but after all "Scroll Bar become active " and also has large scroll without display any other content.
I have seen in IE this problem not occur.
I also seen that Google Picassa which use mozilla and netscape's compo. that also has no problem.
Please remove this problem for Designer.
I am Developer(Java). I do my work for database related application. I have to put my output in final xhtml format, my output come fine in IE and Google Chrome. But some time I have to hear problem like output table is not in manner.
Ok in printing it also print fine. but it display scroll bar without needed.
Thank you
RD
