I'm using DW to update my company's website. I know html and usually write most of the code by hand but with several hundred pages to edit, I figured something like DW could help me out. Anyways, I'm really tired of using tables and have been looking to CSS. I really like the idea of it but I don't think I have enough time to implement something like that by my deadline. I started using what DW calls "layers" but they are just absolute positioned div tags. Are they OK to use and can most browsers see them? I'm getting some of the pages being displayed different in IE and FF.

I use absolute positioned DIVs a lot. There are some issues though. Search for "Box model hack" in google and you should find some useful information.
