Question

http://jsfiddle.net/L83y3/

HTML

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>stuff</td>
        <td class="right">more stuff</td>
    </tr>
</table>

CSS

table
{
    border:10px solid green;
}
td
{
    padding:20px;
    background-color:gray;
}
.right
{
    position:relative;
}

has a solid uninterrupted green border for Chrome 13, Safari 5, IE7
but results in this for IE9, IE8, FF5, FF4, FF3.6

How can I get a solid border all the way around, but still have position:relative in the right cell?

Apply z-index:-1;
