When you change nsView to allow form controls to replace its widget, you can
reassign this bug to karnaze.

<html>
<body>
<FORM>
<input type=button value= foo style="left: 100px; top: 100px; position:
absolute;">
</body>

Summary: Absolutely positioned form controls have wrong view and don't render → Absolutely positioned non native form controls don't render properly
Form controls which have native widgets can be absolutely positioned correctly.
Other controls including <button> and <label> have a problem. The following
example will not display the contents of the <button>. Troy thinks it is a view
rendering problem even though the view hierarchy is correct, so I'm assigning
this to Micahel and changing the summary.

<html>
<body>
<FORM>
<button style="left: 100px; top: 100px; position: absolute;">hello</button>
</body>
</html>

in this example the button has a transparent background, but the view system is
never told that the button's background is transparent so the compositor can't
do the right thing. somwhere in the button code, you need to call the
viewmanager's SetViewContentTransparency() method and all should be well.
