(Core :: DOM: CSS Object Model, defect)

Description

[Ken Mori]

Beginning with Mozilla 0.9.7, the absolute position of dynamically created HTML
elements is broken.  Attached is a test page.  The page behaves and looks
correctly on IE 6 and Netscape 6.2.1.  However, it not appear to work properly
on Mozilla 0.9.7

Attachment: Test page. Click "Move it" and box should move.

I think this would be related to bug #118415
It seems you can't change the position property to absolute
when the element is on the document tree.
The relative value works,but to set the absolute value,
the element needs to be off the tree.
