Re: CSS Positioning question

I don't believe this is a bug. The div is not enclosing the other elements,
since you took it outside the flow of the document by positioning it
absolutely.

It would seem that it should enclose them, as it does within the source
code. It doesn't, though, because they are part of the flow and it is not.
The div in question exists independently of the other elements.

That's my understanding too, and test2 seems to bear that out. If I
shift the containing element (div class="thispage"), everything within
it shifts accordingly. So, all the elements seem to behaving properly,
with the exception of the collapsed box outline. My best guess is that
this is is a CSS absolute bug--especially since the same problem does
not exist in the relative example.
