[mwu-> it certainly does. <-mwu]

[mwu-> do you have the code that you are using now?  you should just be able 
to position and size them:

#element1 {                /* row 1, col 1 */
  position: absolute;
  left:   0%; top:     0%;
  width: 70%; height: 15%;
}
#element2 {                /* row 1, col 2 */
  position: absolute;
  left:  70%; top:     0%;
  width: 30%; height: 15%;
}
#element3 {                /* row 2, col 1 */
  position: absolute;
  left:   0%; top:    15%;
  width: 10%; height: 85%;
}
#element4 {                /* row 2, col 2 */
  position: absolute;
  left:  10%; top:    15%;
  width: 90%; height: 85%;
}

i can't see why it wouldn't work.  you could also do the same with the float 
property on some of the elements, but it's not necessary if you know the 
exact size of everything already. <-mwu]
