Design Without Absolute Positioning

When I first started learning the basics of web page design, the only way I was taught to move various elements of the page around was by absolute positioning in CSS. However, it seems to mess with the page a bit depending on the person who uses it. I'm not sure if this is actually due to absolute positioning or not, but I was wondering if there were other ways to design a page without using that particular style.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :]

Hmm. Either i'm not doing it right, or floats aren't really solving my problem. Is there any other way to move objects (like images and divs) in a layout?
The main problem I seem to be having is that when I shrink/expand the size of the browser (i'm using Mozilla), the images move.

Well, that's what dynamic layouts do... They are supposed to be designed to shrink and expand. Absolute positioning doesn't do that. You have to either design it to fit in a expandable environment, or put it in a container with a set size.
