User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/14.0.825.0 Safari/535.1

Steps to reproduce:

I absolutely positioned a div within a table that is also absolutely positioned.  You can see an example here:

http://jsfiddle.net/newtang/kZxQX/13/

(The same problem exists with a relatively positioned table as well)


Actual results:

The div is located absolutely positioned, relative to the body.


Expected results:

The div should've been located relative to the table.  According to W3Schools, "An absolute position element is positioned relative to the first parent element that has a position other than static"  http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp

The above JSFiddle works correctly in IE, Chrome, and Safari.
