The use of 'overflow: auto' / 'position: relative' may, or may not, give
you a fixed table header across browser-land. Especially unclear in
IE/win, where 'R:P' can be used to simulate 'position: fixed/absolute'
when combined with 'overflow'.

The standardized use of 'position: relative' is for stacking (with a
z-index) and for offsetting an element from its original position
without affecting the space taken in its original position. Thus, no
standardized 'fixing-effect'.

It's impossible to figure out exactly why something doesn't work as
expected, without seeing the complete document/code those browsers are
supposed to handle. We need a link to the actual document.

'Position: absolute' is supposed to fix an element's position relative
to a container...
