		The 'position' and 'float' properties determine which of the CSS2 positioning algorithms is used to calculate the position of a box.
		For relatively positioned boxes, the offsets are with respect to the outer edges of the box itself (i.e., the box is given a position in the normal flow, then offset from that position according to these properties).
		Relative positioning may also be used as a general form of superscripting and subscripting except that line height is not automatically adjusted to take the positioning into consideration.

	RichInStyle.com CSS2 tutorial - Positioning
		Position: relative specifies that the element will be relatively positioned, position: absolute that it will be absolutely positioned, position: static that the element will flow normally, and position: fixed that the element will be fixed with respect to the document window or viewport.
		In absolute positioning, the position of an element is specified relative to edges of a box known as a containing block.
		In relative positioning, elements are moved relative to their normal position, but with subsequent elements treating them as though they were in their original position.

	Positioning (marketing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In marketing, positioning is the technique by which marketers try to create an image or identity in the minds of their target market for its product, brand, or organization.
		Positioning is expressed relative to the position of competitors.
		Positioning is facilitated by a graphical technique called perceptual mapping, various survey techniques, and statistical techniques like multi dimensional scaling, factor analysis, conjoint analysis, and logit analysis.

	Positioning GSM Telephones
		Another major limitation on positioning receivers is the phenomenon known as multipath, which refers to the common situation where a signal propagating from a transmitter to a receiver may travel via several paths including a direct (line of sight) and one or more reflected paths.
		Alternatively, the positioning receiver collocated with a BTS could measure the TOA relative to their own transmission cycle, and separate monitoring sites would provide the LSC with the timing offset of each BTS, thus allowing TDOAs and subsequently position to be calculated.
		The monitoring of position is a political issue, and the level of authority and legal steps required to monitor a person's or object's position without their permission or knowledge varies from country to country.

		The 'position' and 'float' properties determine which of the CSS 2.1 positioning algorithms is used to calculate the position of a box.
		For relatively positioned boxes, the offset is with respect to the top edges of the box itself (i.e., the box is given a position in the normal flow, then offset from that position according to these properties).
		Although relative positioning may be used as a form of superscripting and subscripting, the line height is not automatically adjusted to take the positioning into consideration.

		Margins, borders and padding are all optional but for purposes of calculating positions and sizes they are given a default width of zero if not specified.
		This containing block is used in determining both the position of the boxes within it and in some cases, the dimensions of those boxes.
		For any element that is not absolutely positioned, the containing block is considered to be the content edge of its most recent, block-level ancestor.

	Positioning Theory: Introduction, a paper, and links
		Positioning theory, on the other hand, attends to the problems inherent in the theatrical metaphor of "role" by working the much more dynamic metaphor of "position." Already, the spatial dimension of the term suggests its flexibility: one's position in space is ever-changing, even if only by degrees.
		Positions, such as sitting or standing, leaning this way or that, may be taken up or abandoned with relative ease.
		Finally, these positions tend to be taken up according to an unfolding narrative, as in a tale of a modest infidelity: the guilty party will try to position him or herself as weak-willed, perhaps, or as having been unfaithful in response to some wrong done by the other.

	About Element Positioning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The type of positioning to use depends on the layout of the content and the purpose of the document.
		Contrast this with an absolutely positioned element where subsequent text and elements occupy what would have been the natural space for the positioned element before the positioned element was pulled out of the flow.
		This is also true for positioned elements with a negative z-index unless the parent is a scrolling container (that is, its overflow property is set to auto or scroll), or the parent is manually positioned (that is, its position property is set to absolute, relative, or fixed).

		GPS receivers calculate their current position (latitude, longitude, elevation), and the precise time, using the process of trilateration.
		The receiver calculates the orbit of each satellite based on information encoded in their radio signals, and measures the distance to each satellite, called a pseudorange, based on the time delay from when the satellite signals were sent until they were received.
		On February 10, 1993, the National Aeronautic Association selected the Global Positioning System Team as winners of the 1992 Robert J. This team consists of researchers from the Naval Research Laboratory, the U.S. Air Force, the Aerospace Corporation, Rockwell International Corporation, and IBM Federal Systems Company.

		Positioning has it roots in the packaged goods field where the concept was called “product positioning.” It literally meant the product’s form, package size and price as compared to competition.
		The computer “position” in the minds of most people is filled by a company called the International Business Machines Corp. For a competitive computer manufacturer to obtain a favorable position in the prospect’s mind, he must somehow relate his company to IBM’s position.
		If a company has positioned itself in the right direction, it will be able to ride the currents of change, ready to take advantage of those opportunities that are right for it.

		Applying positioning to a parent element, to allow absolute positioning of a child element within the parent.
		That positioning trick is quite useful, and I tend to use it in the situations described (centered column or unknown coordinates).
		While I've known about the absolute positioning trick for a while now, the notion of applying multiple classes to a single element is completely new to me. I just didn't know that this was legal syntax.

	Mobile Positioning
		One of the easiest means of positioning the mobile user is to leverage the SS7 network to derive location.
		This category is referred to as "handset based" because the handset itself is the primary means of positioning the user, although the network can be used to provide assistance in acquiring the mobile device and/or making position estimate determinations based on measurement data and handset based position determination algorithms.
		Positioning information may be as approximate as COO or more precise through additional means such as use of the mobile network operation called timing advance (TA) or a procedure called network measurement report (NMR).

	Positioning: seeing your brand and your competitors' brands from your customers' point of view
		That position is built through the accumulation of contacts with the company and its competitors, through their experiences and their impressions based on everything from the color of a salesman’s tie to the overnight express service they use.
