I am trying to absolutely position an element inside a table cell.
The TD has position:relative and the element has position:absolute.

This works great in all browsers except in Firefox where it is positioned relative to an ancestor relative container.

Does anyone know if I miss some CSS setting that can fix that in Firefox?

    the element is not a block element.
    add to the style display:block, you will get the needed behavior.
