Hi all, this is a Javascript question by the way. :)
I hope someone can help.

I would like to place either a Web Control or text
in an absolute position...
This is how I currently do it.....

<div style="position:absolute; left:50px; top:300px">
Caption Text
</div>

This works, but can I do this without a DIV???

Did you try SPAN instead of DIV?

It should work with all block tags. For instance this also works:

<p style="position:absolute; left:50px; top:300px">Caption Text</p>
