Is it possible to specify what position type to use in <div> tags

[phantastes]

Hi,

As a way to create html reports with drill down functionality I've been looking into embedding a <script> into the html document. That script tag would call a javascript file. With the javascript I then want to add interactivity such as expanding and collapsing portions of the report.

The problem I'm running into is that all <div> and <span> tags are set with position:absolute. Because of this I can only make a portion of the report visible/non-visible and not expanded/collapsed. 

Does anyone know how to solve this? Is there any way to create html reports where the position is not set to absolute?

Thank you!
