can you absolute position tables on a page?

Yes, many different ways you can do it...

<div style="position: absolute; top: ##px; left: ##px;">
table tags here
</div>
------
<table... style="position: absolute; top: ##px; left: ##px;">
........
</table>
--------
<style type="text/css">
.mytable{
position: absolute;
top: ##px;
left: ##px;
}
</style>
<table class="mytable">
.......
</table>

those are generic examples, you can add on with more CSS if you'd like.
