Below is an exceedingly simple HTML page.
1) I would like to add a menu across the top, which means that the position of that edit box may have to change(?) or must it? Is the text box positioned relative to its enclosing div (which will follw the menu's div)?
2) I want to add more form elements, and position them precisely, with coords relative to the start of the form, just after the menu (I am generating the HTML programatically, if it helps to know that; for instance, I can add a fudge factor).
3) and after the last of those I want a submit button, which is always guaranteed to be at the bottom of the page, no matter how many input elements I add in the middle (so, perhaps wrap the form's controls in a div?
