Absolute Positioning vs Float, what are pros and cons?

position:absolute;
left:0;
right:0;

or

float:left;
float:right;

IMO, I won't recommend using absolute positioning unless you don't have any options left. But somehow, every thing is fairly manageable using float. Plus, using float is pretty much supported with modern browsers. I'm not saying that absolute positioning is not, but different browsers has different interpretation of absolute.

i prefer float

float has some issues afaik, guess what!! IE!

float is quite effective in dynamic pages, i used it all the times, like @ChaosOrb said.... i use it only as a last option or temporary solution...
