Simple Tasks

There aren't any. There are an astounding number of things that look simple. This impression is due to the poor resolving power of the human brain -- the farther things are away in time, the less we remember what a pain in the ass they were.

I suppose that explains second children, as well.

Today's simple task was getting CSS styles to work with relatively positioned div sections. Thought you could position relatively and specify top/left amounts? Not. Try specifying margin-top etc. instead, and that works. Damned if I know why.

And, of course, why should you care?

Fair enough.
