E.g. //210.48.43.95/sample.jpeg is all done via CSS, works on both firefox and IE and proportions itself for screen and font size.

Well, I know it can be done manually but I meant prograrmmatically at runtime. It's possible but difficult and likely to cause invalid results with the large variety of layout formats that can be used.

Also if you do use extensive DIV tags and CSS definitions you're likely just as hosed with accessibility as you are with absolute positioning.
