I'm not perfect and if you were totally honest with yourself you'd agree there is no "deep structure" to the sentence that was my point of contention.
Additionally, I made no mention of you having failings in your writing / typing skills, although I would like to point out that the word is "holophrastic" ...
In anycase, CSS "positioning" has been a design method for many designers for quite some time and is cross browser compatible. Given, some browsers did need special CSS hacks for the designers to realise their designs across browsers.
You can see CSS positioning at work on the csszengarden site:
http:www.csszengarden.com - basically, the site uses the same "markup" (what you call html) and loads different stylesheets to change the ENTIRE look AND structure of the site. I would honestly not waste as much time as I have in this thread did I not believe what I was saying.

My reference to "objects" related mainly to DIV elements.
The scope of CSS is not beyond me, but thanks for the insult - always greatly appreciated. What is beyond me is how you can say that it is possible, purely be modifying just the CSS, of making a cross-browser compatible change to the positioning of two elements which, in the HTML, are ordered from top to bottom.
Always having a go at the reading skills, eh? In case you hadn't noticed, English is a diverse language with many ways of interpreting and constructing clauses - most meaning being derived from the "deep structure" (Noam Chomsky) of a sentence, which is an innate ideology in each person.
Maybe i did make a cock-up there by confusing myself - fuck me for not being as perfect as you obviously are then. Just to clarify for you, if you can understand my (by your implication) pre-basic language usage (it might be a challenge for you in your post-holophrasistic universe, but give it a go):
Sites rely on both HTML and CSS - to say that a site's design can be completely changed by altering just the CSS is bullshit.
