Would be decent yeah… I wanted to vertically float something at the bottom right of a table cell earlier… you can’t absolutely position it because the table repeats with different data-base driven content or different sizes!

So i’ve had to drop what I wanted and resort to something else

I was looking for something like this too, and found a solution.
In my case, I needed it to float left down. When I used float and clear, I got the results I wanted :D

i assumed it did exist…i mean it’s such a basic basic concept…i found this page while trying to find whether there was such as thing as float:below or sink etc.

Once I get my custom design done, I’ll add it in :)

Sweet idea Kilian! And why can’t I use rel attrs in link tags on your blog? :p

I love the idea. It would make header and footer images so much easier to align, instead of worrying negative margins, etc.

You’re on a roll, Kil :D

Without looking at any potential technical drawbacks there might be, I fully agree with this one. Something like this really should have been there in the first place, because the problem is just begging for a clean solution. I can’t believe that the CSS spec. authors never even considered the problem this would solve, so I wonder if it was just too technically awkward to implement.

Another thing for CSS 3.1, maybe? ;)
