Hi,

since all my divs are absolute I just declare this css:

div {
position:absolute;
}

But its not working. Seems as this does not do anything. All
of my divs behave as if no specific position behavior has been specified.

Why is that?

Best regards,
Axel Siebenwirth

I hope you don't have any content in those divs.

No idea.
I didn't look at your code.

Not generally a good idea.

Given that you haven't (at least as far as you have said) specified left,
right, top or bottom properties, then I wouldn't expect any visible result.

You must position the div using top, left, bottom, right. Otherwise it
is absolutely positioned wherever it occurs in the flow.

Well, in absence of any specified top, left, bottom, right values, the
default are applied. So, top is auto and left is auto

The divs are absolutely positioned and they all behave according to the
specific position you've given these: auto.
