That is the whole purpose of
That is the whole purpose of position:absolute, it takes the element away from its parent and displays it exactly where you tell it to.
You might want to take a look at the tutorials on CSS at htmldog, they will get you started on CSS and provide a place for you to check out what happens with certain properties. For now, my best advice is to steer clear of position (absolute, relative, fixed) until you are more experienced with building a page "in-flow", that is letting the browser do the work. Mostly it'll do a pretty good job. Once you are familiar with that job, you'll know when you need to use position to make it do things differently.

What country are you in?
What country are you in? http://www.htmldog.com works just fine where the internet is unimpeded. Do an "nslookup www.htmldog.com" from your command line (that will work in all major OS, e.g. Windows, OSX, Linux & FreeBSD), the answer you should receive is 217.77.176.25.
