CSS Question

I am developing a web app to simulate a windows fat client app.  I need to determine the optimal approach for simulating the fat client screens.  In particular, the elements must be fixed in absolute position.  This can be done with style sheets, but seems to be very cumbersome, and frankly, I'd rather focus on the web systems development than on web page design.

I looked through the Struts and JSP taglibs, but have not seen anything related to the positioning of elements.  Can anyone provide an experienced opinion about the best approach to take for absolute positioning?

Thanks!

You can't acheive what you want using tables?  If everything has to be 
"absolute" then just specify explicit widths/heights for the table pieces.
