I have a page that is generating an order confirmation that is broken
down into a whole bunch of small tables. I have redone pretty much
everything with css, but I am leaving the tables for now because the
html table code is generated on the fly by PHP script that I inherited
with the code-base. On one of the pages I was able to use absolute
positioning to position the tables absolutely with respect to the
form element that contained them. For that application it worked
beautifully. However, on the next page which has the same table but
without the form or input elements (we go from an order page to an
order confirmation page, where it re-lists everything you just typed
in), the absolute positioning renders with respect to the page instead
of the containing div. My favorite reference, Core CSS 2nd Ed. by
Schengili-Roberts, claims that absolute positioning renders with
respect to the page always. This is obviously not true (at least
anymore). I am testing with Firefox 1.0.4 and IE6, which display the
same behavior in this regard. Does anyone know the details of
container elements for absolute positioning: what will and will not
render abs contained elements properly? Any help is greatly
appreciated.
