Tables and relative position

Mozilla doesn't honour a position: relative on a table, which can therefore never serve as a container for absolutely positioned elements. This is a deliberate choice, and not a bug, oddly.

On the other hand, Explorer Mac behaves as if every table has a position: relative. It always positions absolute layers in the table relative to the table, even if they should be positioned relative to the browser window.

This site is no longer maintained. I’m sorry, but it’s just too much work for too little return. You can continue to browse old bug reports, though.
