By that definition abspos elements all cause data loss. Grid layout and positioning are similar in that that both allow for precise positioning of content. The difference is the position on the grid is determined by referencing grid lines instead of defining a distance from the origin. Abspos *does* cause data loss if you try and use it for layout without some well-written JS. That's why abspos sucks. Grid is a lot better because it lets elements affect each other's alignment, respond to available space, etc. Don't try and use abspos behavior as a defense for Grid behavior. ^_^ ~TJ
