One of expected features of U++ web framework (I guess, we need a name for it, W++ is stupid, but will do for now) is possibility to design forms in Layout designer.

There, I can do LeftPos / RightPos (and Top,Bottom) equivalents easily:

<input type="text" style="width:40em;position:absolute;left:20em;top:20em" name="firstname" />
<input type="text" style="width:40em;position:absolute;right:20em;top:20em" name="firstname" />

but it is not possible to do SizePos this way (it can be either left or right, not both).

I have tried doing this with margins, but problem there is that in that case, html layout engine does not allow me to "overlap" widgets (so I cannot e.g. place label in the margin area).

Do I have to do this in JavaScript (and how?), or there is some other possiblity?

Note that the result should be compatible with U++ layouts...
