This layout can be done with CSS?

Is it possible to do the following layout with CSS but not using absolute/relative positioning?
We tried to solve this riddle for several days but we couldn't fit the box 10.

Please also provide css + html files of your solution. So we can discuss solutions.

is it possible?

I just solved this problem by using this source code.

Update

Can you explain how browser renders floating item?

PS. My main techniques are negative left-margin & grouping div. It's single way to solve this problem without using relative and absolute position.

</html>

Works in IE8, FF2, FF3, Chrome, Safari, Opera. Doesn't work in IE6 and IE7 for unknown reasons to me.

(widths and margins may be a little off, image was low qual and I just used magic wand tool in photoshop)

#objX01  {  background:#ed4728; width:91px;height:90px; }
#objX02  {  background:#c9b7c3; width:145px;height:50px; }
#objX03  {  background:#d7446d; width:168px;height:37px; }
#objX04  {  background:#2cdb54; width:120px;height:29px; float: right;}
#objX09  {  background:#1e5a82; width:47px;height:90px; float: right;}
#objX08  {  background:#224456; width:128px;height:82px; float: right;}
#objX07  {  background:#3240c0; width:64px;height:105px; float: right;}
#objX06  {  background:#5ee1b1; width:118px;height:92px; float: right;}

As a starting point you can use Photoshop or another software to define the regions and generate the HTML+CSS.

The code generated isn't very clean but it would be a good base to begin making changes.

All of it should be doable. As Jim Neath mentioned, you can do boxes 1-9 with float left's, clears, and negative top margins.

For Box 10, you could float it left so that it would normally appear to the right of box 9, but apply a negative left margin to push it over next to 7 (based on the width of 8 and 9).

You could try float:left all the boxes. Then give boxes 6-9 a negative top margin. And clear:left box 5.

Not entirely sure if that would work, but it's worth a try.
