Absolute positioning....

Permalink
Hi Ok, I don't use absolute positioning very often as I prefer floats. But on this site I am using it, an issue i'm coming across is that when the edit bar is showing all the absolute elements shift up by 49px, why does it do this? and is there a solution, i can't seem to find anything recent in the forums.

I've tried to fix this with:

<?php if ($c->isEditMode()) { ?>
      <div style="height:49px;"></div>
      <?php } ?>


But this just makes it so when logged in and in edit mode the site positions correctly but when i'm out of edit mode and just the header bar is shown, the elements still shuffle up??

Thanks in advance, Ben

the things don't actually lift, they just don't move down. See

I have started using a Wrapping container which I position Relative, clearing both, that way child elements with absolute position are always Absolute to that element.

I then tend to use this container instead of the body (when I have content I would like to match up)
