This was an idea I stumbled upon while developing in SharePoint, tables work well in SharePoint but you can't always place web part zones in tables exactly where you want them to be. That's why I started using <div> tags with the position:relative; attribute.

Here is an example:

The first step to take is to place a web part zone in the page.

        <WebPartPages:WebPartZone id="Your id will be different" runat="server" title="Name your zone">

        </WebPartPages:WebPartZone>

Now let's add a div tag to this w/ a style and position set to relative.

<div style="position:relative;">

<WebPartPages:WebPartZone id="Your id will be different" runat="server" title="Name your zone">

        </WebPartPages:WebPartZone>

</div>

Ok, now that we've done that, you can now position the web part zone anywhere you want it t be on the page with these attributes added left:0px; right:0px; top:0px; bottom:0px;

Here is the code I've created for the example above.

<div style="position:relative; left:5px; top:-320px; width:200px;">

<WebPartPages:WebPartZone id="Your id will be different" runat="server" title="Name your zone">

(I added a links list web part here)

        </WebPartPages:WebPartZone>

</div>

Here is another example:

<div style="position:relative; top:-143px; height: 139px; >

<WebPartPages:WebPartZone id="Your id will be different" runat="server" title="Name your zone">

(I added a table here)

        </WebPartPages:WebPartZone>

</div>
