| Huh? Abspos and fixpos are identical in their layout effects. Fixpos | just uses the window as its position reference, rather than an | element. Wait, what? Not at all. If a fixed element is outside the viewport, it doesn't force a scrollbar, an absolute one does. Also, fixed elements can't possibly trigger overflow on a parent "position: absolute" element (so it's safe to assume that changing its location via top/left/... doesn't require a relayout of any other element). I would say "position: pointer" elements should behave like "position: fixed". Also, a "position: pointer" element should be able to be drawn accros the browser's window boundaries (like IE's createPopup).
