Everyone says margins, padding, absolutes, and floats are bad but I have everything working great will all those except this one little troublesome div.
Honestly I would not know how to position a layout without those items, I am sure there is a more professional way, but I am restructuring this website from deprecated css styles such as moz-opacity and opacity.
I am sure I am probably using styles not recommended by professionals but it does look really good besides that one troublesome div.
