I tried adding "style='position:relative;'" to the opening table tag
with no discernible effect.
Of course it didn't, since those Gecko-browsers won't absolute-position
anything relative to a table - not to _any_ part of a table.
If you intend to keep the form wrapped around the table like in your
example, you can position relative to that form.
If not you have to wrap a div around the table and position relative to
that div.

...and the reason it has changed somewhat is because your HTML code were
no good - not valid - so *HTML Tidy* cleaned it up a bit.
I advice frequent validity checks, or else positioning relative to a
table will be the least problem.
FYI: Browsers have no built-in understanding of "valid" when served
garbage-code. They just tune it up a bit through garbage-correction
filters and render it the best they can with no regard to web standards.
The result of such *error-correction* is somewhat unpredictable so don't
rely on that any browser actually got it right.
