Before we get there, however, there are a few more things to cover. Remember that absolutely positioned boxes can have backgrounds, margins, borders, and padding; styles can be applied within them, just as with any other element. This can make them very useful for the creation of sidebars, "sticky notes," and other such effects. One example is the ability to set a "change marker" on any paragraph that has been edited. This could be done using the following styles

Java Application Layer

All of the code that you write (in your Java classes) might be considered the Java application layer. Other layers are the XML Parser layer, the XML source (that supplies the XML data that is necessary), and the persistence engine (where the data is actually stored and retrieved by the source).

Your code (in the Java application layer) has to make use of the DOM or SAX API and the XML parser in order to access the information in XML documents (that come from your source). The source might be responsible for pulling data from different persistence engines (relational or object databases) and even the web (dynamically generated websites that supply only XML data).

In your application layer, you can create many interesting Java applications. The apps can run on the server side or client side or both. They may have graphical user interfaces or they may be web based. When I use the word application or app in this chapter, I don't exclude Java applets; I mean application (or app) in the broad sense of the word, i.e., I mean it to describe a software system written in Java that solves a real-world problem.

impossible to set a consistent clipping rectangle in situations wherethe height and width are not precisely defined. For example, there isno way to create a clipping rectangle that is 1 em larger than thiselement's content area:

position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 50%; right: 50%; left: 0;

Since there is no way to know how many ems tall or wide the elementwill be, there is no way to make a clipping rectangle that ends 1 emto the right, or 1 em below, the content area of the element.
