This is a bug in Netscape. So far there hasn't been a version at all that allows you to have keyboard access and CSS absolute-positioned elements in the same page (at least not to my knowledge). To have absolute positioning, you have to sacrifice keyboard access. To have keyboard access, you have to sacrifice absolute positioning. To have both, you have to sacrifice Netscape.
