That's prolly because you tried writing it by hand. Complex layouts without a WYSIWYG tool are certainly not a good idea.

That may be true, but I don't know any tools that allow you to use relative positioning effectively (including dreamweaver), and if you use absolute positioning your page looks shit as soon as someone resizes it or changes the font size. So, if we can't do it by hand and there are no tools we're back at the conclusion that CSS relative positioning is not worth the trouble.

Oh! absolute positioning is really easy and effective! The trick is to ensure your divs (or whatever) are the correct size and to use percentages to position them. Any sized browser window and any resolution will all look very much the same. That allows you do put the main content at the top of the source and everything else at the bottom, which has the effect of making it -seem- like the page loads faster.
