Theory question:
Where should an absolutely positioned element start within it’s positioned parent? At its border edge, or its padding offset? Safari seems to ignore the parent’s padding when absolutely positioning a child, but firefox and IE seem to take the padding into account and start from that offset.
Thanks
Auto-offset things will take padding into account. If you have non-auto offsets, then those are measured from the boundary between the padding and the border.
