45258 - CSS-P Element fails

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Description

(The example site listed above is under development.  You may log in using login

I use an absolutely positioned DIV element in a menuing system for one of my
clients.  However, M16 seems to completely ignore it.  The system works
perfectly fine in Netscape 4.01 to 4.7 and IE 4.0 to 5.01.  What is up?

Prefixing URL with http:// . Seems to be down right now, though.

unable to connect.  reporter could you attach a simple testcase to the bug.  
Could you also test this with a current build of mozilla.  M16 is getting old.

Server is pingable but has no services running on port 590 or port 80.

Reporter:  Unless you attach a testcase to this bug or tell us how to reproduce
it, the next person who looks at it (hint, hint...) will mark it WORKSFORME.

We certainly do support absolute positioning.

Thanks for the testcase!

The attached testcase uses nonstandard code to modify the documen, specifically
the testcase needs to use document.getElementById() to access elements by id,
for more information about this please see:

  http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/standards.html

The page also relies on document.layers or document.all as a check to see if
the client is "dynamic".

Marking WONTFIX.
