Relative moves the element from where is would normally appear.

I still yet to understand/use float but I know it wont help form everything I've read.

I'll have some samples of what I am talking about shortly.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't absolute positioning, absolute to it's parent?

Absoulte postioning starts at the top right conrner of the screen and relative postioning just moves it from where it would normally be.

What more do you need ? Static leaves the element in the normal flow, Relative will move the element relative to the parent and absolute is out of the flow and exactly where you specify. Unless you want an absolutely positioned element that is relative to other elements, which would be a contradiction in terms.

I'm sure I can think of more, that's just for starters.

Yes you can make a website in xhml without the use of CSS but if you want to add color or font styles you need to.
