From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT) BuildID: 2000040215 Using the CSS position:absolute style on an HTML element in a XUL file results in the HTML element not being displayed. Using position:absolute on a XUL element results in it being displayed as though position:static. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.View this XUL which contains an absolutely positioned box: <?xml version="1.0"?> <window xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <box style="position:absolute; width:100px; height:100px; background- color:blue"> </box> </window> 2. View this XUL which contains an absolutely positioned HTML DIV: <?xml version="1.0"?> <window xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"> <html:div style="position:absolute; width:100px; height:100px; background-color:blue"> </html:div> </window> Actual Results: In step 1, the box is layed out as though it were position:static. In step 2, the HTML DIV is not displayed at all. Expected Results: In both cases, the element should have been absolutely positioned.

aw@softcom.com - neither of these test cases displays anything on their own (is that how they are supposed to be used) in 20000512. I take it this bug is still there? Gerv
Sorry, testcase #1 has the wrong namespace which is causing it to display nothing. Testcase #2 is correct, and displays nothing (although it should). I have attached a zip file with the two testcases - they also now include some text so you know something loaded. In the attachment, abs-html.xul displays nothing except the text and abs-xul.xul displays a blue DIV that is not absolutely positioned. I tested both with build 2000051210 and got the same results.

Boxes do not support absolute or fixed positioning. This is a HTML feature not XUL feature. XUL allows you to embed HTML but has a very different layout model. You can use absolute/fixed positioning within some HTML that is embedded in a XUL <html> tag. But the enclosed examples are not valid XUL.
