Consider the following inner DIV in an outer DIV both positioned absolutely
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
#outer {
position: absolute;
left: 20px; top: 20px;
width: 200px; height: 200px;
background-color: blue;
}
#inner {
position: absolute;
left: 50px; top: 50px;
width: 100px; height: 100px;
background-color: red;
}
</STYLE>
<SCRIPT>
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY ONLOAD="var l = document.getElementById('inner');
var s = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(l, null);
alert('inner.left: (should be 50px) ' + s.getPropertyValue('left')
+ '\ninner.top: (should be 50px) ' + s.getPropertyValue('top'));"
>
<DIV ID="outer">
<DIV ID="inner">
</DIV>
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The alert shows 70px instead of 50px so it seems to take the values relative to
the document body and not relative to outer DIV.
Though the DOM and CSS specs are not too explicit on this I think it is a bug.
jst confirmed that.
