What is the rough way to code a set of four (4) DIVs to display in the following way? I did some weird things with absolute vs. relative and it’s just not working for me… I did it in an “unclean” way where I simulated it by making DIVs 2, 3 & 4 relatively positioned (with the appropriate “top” , “left”, and “right” margins), and I made DIV 1 relatively positioned. It works, but sort-of-not-really, if you know what I mean. It’s just the “wrong” way to do it, and I know it.

Can anyone help me out? I feel silly. I haven’t done DIVs in a while though, so that’s my excuse. I’m doing this for a friend by the way.
