The following code works in Firebird correctly. But if I change top:100px to
bottom:100px the iframe (or the table cell?) keeps empty.

<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; z-index:2; left:0px; top:100px;">
<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr >
<td style="width:248px;"> </td>
<td>
<!-- in dieser Tabellenzelle steht nun der ganze Inhalt -->
<iframe src="inhalt.html" width="100%" ></iframe>
<!-- Ende des Inhalts -->
</td>
<td style="width:183px;"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</DIV>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. integrate the submitted code in a html-document
2. replace top by bottom


Actual Results:  
the iframe isn't displayed

Expected Results:  
display the iframe and position it at the bottom of the page

I am on Firebird 0.8 branch build 20040120, Windows XP and can reproduce.
(I also tested with Netscape 6.2.3 and Netscape 7.0 with the same results)

Frankly, testing in any version of Netscape or in anything as old as 1.5 (FB
0.7) is useless.  Why bother even mentioning them?

In any case, this got fixed by the checkin for bug 225820 on the trunk (12 days
ago).
