I'm assuming that this is not possible (I haven't found a way), but if
there's one thing I know for sure, one shouldn't assume anything about
what people know how to do on this NG...
Enough creeping. :-)
Is it in fact possible to relatively position a division (on a
'higher' z-index) to correspond with an in-line 'a href' link (within
text in another, absolutely-positioned 'lower' division), so that the
topmost div maintains its position relative to the link no matter
whether the page is viewed in IE, Mozilla or Opera (etc.), or whatever
the font size may be set to in the browser?
URLs of info, pointers etc. gladly received.
Thanks.

No.
The problem is that the inline link will fall wherever the line wrap puts
it, and that cannot be predicted. Therefore, we have no way to "tell" the
other div how to position itself.
The basic effect could be achieved in a few ways, all of which present
severe usability issues. Either you'd have to use a fixed width block of
text so you can control where the link would appear, or use an image as
text. But you don't want to do that. The design benefit is far outweighed
by how much it screws up optimal usability.

in general, how does css teach us to position blocks relative to one
specific block? how does one specify which block is the reference for the
position of others relative to it?
for example, position block A somewhere; then create blocks B thru Z which
intend to have specific positions relative to A--above, below, left, and
right.
i understood the standard to say "position:absolute" is actually relative to
the most recently positioned...

Hello
Reading the follwing document:
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-positioning-970131#In-flow
it seems very clear that position:relative should be relative to the parent
element. So in the following test case element1 and element2 should be
placed side by side inside a centered white container element:

According to my book on CSS, if you apply 'position: relative' to a
block-level element, it will stay exactly where it is. However, you can
then use top, left etc. to offset the element relative to its position.
However, looking at other people's stylesheets, I often see 'position:
relative' applied to elements but without the use of top, left etc.,
which makes me think using 'position: relative' has some other effect
that my book has...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
