Details 
In the included test case (next comment), some DIV elements generated by JS code
have absolute position. However, they are not taken out of the flow. If you
eliminate the relative positioning for the DIV element with ID=rightlinks, they
are again taken out of the flow.

Discussing bug #117501 it turned out that the relative positioning of that DIV
element is necessary to set it as the containing element (for it is the first
ancestor with non-static positioning). Since offset* properties are relative to
the first containing element, this is necessary if one wants to use offset*
information to do absolute positioning.

Looks like the table cell is mis-sizing itself... over to HTML tables.  Oh, and
same thing happens in strict mode, by the way.
