Maybe this will work:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Strict//EN">
<html><head><title>absolute divs</title>
<style><!-- div { position:absolute } --></style></head>
<body>
<div align="left">left</div>
<div align="center">center</div>
<div align="right">right</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left; width: 100%">left</div>
<div style="text-align: center; width: 100%">center</div>
<div style="text-align: right; width: 100%">right</div>
<br /><hr /><p>This is a test</p>
</body></html>
