how to position an element relative to another element on the page

I have a table that is 780px wide centered in the browser. I don't
know how wide the browser will be, but I have a various div elements
that must stay in the same place relative to the underlying table, even
when the user sizes and resizes his browser window.

An example would be text over a graphical tab menu. I can post code or
link to graphics if this is not clear.

thanks
