[css-d] Absolute positioning within a table
I have a relatively-positioned table, and an absolutely-positioned div in a table cell within that table: http://jsbin.com/erasur In Firefox 4 and 5, the div is positioned relative to the document. In Chrome, and IE 7 (and - maybe - later) it's positioned relative to the table. Which is correct? If Firefox is correct, and there's special handling for positioning within a table, which part of the spec. governs this behaviour?

In Chrome, and IE 7 (and - maybe - later) it's positioned relative to the table. It is a bug in Gecko (or rather a combination multiple bugs). Might get fixed in Firefox.next or .next.next or something in the not too distant future. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10209 and the many dependencies Philippe -- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
