two DIVs with same class: positioning

[Richard Barnet]

I have two DIVs with the same class in the same document. The CSS has the
DIVs absolutely positioned, albeit with a percentage (bottom: 0%).
Shouldn't the DIVs be in the exact same location instead of one above the
other, since they're using the same class and hence the same position?

It'd help to see the relevant CSS markup, instead of you just describing
what's going on.

Is there a URL it's uploaded to?

Depends.
Do they have the same parent element?
Do their parent elements have position: relative; set?
What browsers have you tested with?
What's the URI?

Isn't one yet. I've since changed the code all around, but in theory (or
for when this comes up again - I'm sure it will), shouldn't two absolutely
positioned child divs in the same parent div with the same class appear in
the same spot (one covering up the other)?

Yep. IE6 supports this, at least in simple cases, don't know about older
browsers.
