Is it ok to use negative margins for positioning? I have a lot in my current site and feel like it's not such a stable way to position things. I usually suggest to use them too.
For example I have a checkout page with three divs on top of each other
<div class="A">
header
</div>
<div class="B">
content
</div>
<div class="C">
footer
</div>
(A, B and C), which are meant to sit on top of each other, to appear attached. I did this using:
.B
{
margin-top: -20px;
}
On div B, to meet the bottom of div A.
Is this good practice or shall I re-code using top and left?
