It’s probably worth noting that Firefox 2, Opera 9.23, and Safari 3.0.3 (beta) don’t allow you to absolutely position elements relative to table cells. On the other hand, Internet Explorer 6 and 7 /do/ allow an author to do what you just described. I’m not sure if this is incomplete CSS support in the three former browsers or the way that CSS is supposed to work; if it’s the latter, Eugen would seem to have a point with regard to tables, at least. You can find a simple demo for browser comparison at <http://www.jsgp.us/demos/d0012.html>. — Patrick Garies
