position: relative does not give an element layout in IE6. position: 
absolute does, but not relative. However, relative positioning is 
another one of IE's magic bullets (unrelated to layout). It will often 
fix problems that setting layout cannot. At other times, it will cause 
bugs, so only use it when necessary.
