</div>

ok iam just curious can you have multilple statements like this

#main{  
position:relateive;  
float:right;  
width:450px;  
background-color:red;  
}

what i mean is to have a **float** and a **position** property on **one element?**

because inside this div iam positioning things absolute but this div it’s self is floated right?

is it legal?  
— why i ask is becuase \*\*safari \*\*was screwy with my layout but i fixed it and i think this was the issue

thanks
