you have a link to your site?
absolute is by nature not flexible….
its absolutely positioned to a containing box…..either whatever its nested in that has a position:relative attribute, or else the edge of your monitor
It depends where on the page you are trying to put it and which parent element is assigned position:relative (as mentioned above).
Post the URL.

Thanks! Here’s the page where I’m testing it http://www.graphictask.com/?page_id=2 It’s the WordPress logo. I’m using absolute positioning for it because everything else has margins and properties that pushes over other content. The logo will be very close to text.
position:absolute’s are always positioning themselves to the closest position:relative, and in case no one is assigned it align itself to the body. Simply make a new container in which area you want the image (like .post for example) and add position:relative; to it.

Thanks WizardRegis! It finally makes sense. But how would I align the absolute image to center? When I try top, left, or right it looses it’s liquid. So I tried in the div,
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
display:block;
but it doesn’t work..
i would use relative rather than absolute for <div class=”absolute”>.
.absolute {
position:relative;
top:-50px;
right:;
you can play with top and right. see what will fit you best.
