You can position a layer relatively with the "Snap layers" extension
from [url]www.projectseven.com[/url]. Then, the layer could be placed in relation
to e.g. an image - not absolutely positioned in relation to the browser
wondows x and y axles.
Browse around at their site and you'll also find tutorials and not least
their newsgroup where you can look up numerous questions about this.
