From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    2001050904

The width on tables when they are positioned absolute does not work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.paste code
2.run code
3.error

Actual Results:  same error all the time

Expected Results:  show the correct width

Try this and you will understand. The table looks like you had 100% in width.

<TABLE STYLE="position:absolute; left:100; top:100; width:50; height:50; 
background-color:#cccccc;">
<TR>
	<TD>error</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

Confirmed on Win2K zip build 2001050904, even with px units and strict doctype.
