html - firefox position absolute inside a relative container issue

Question

i am using table for displaying my dynamically generated data depend upon the user input the html structure is looks like below:

<table>
<tr>
    <td>.....</td>
    <td>.....</td>
    <td style="position:relative;"> //like this i set for all td in table
     <div style="position:absolute">//like this i set for all div in table
     <contents>
     </div>
   </td>
   <td>.....</td>
   <td>.....</td>
</tr>
</table>

Here the div is goes to top corner of the body.all these above styles are applied throght the javascript and its working fine in chrome,IE,but not in FF like the image below.

if we change the position of the div to absolute to relative it will align correctly but i am make a hover effect while the user hover the div's for that the positions are important and this issue happens only in firefox

for your very quick reference check out the jquery http://www.malsup.com/jquery/hoverpulse/

i need like this have to be implemented inside the table in FIREFOX which means

• Each images placed inside a td//<td style="position:relative;">

• if the user hover on a td the image should pulse(Zooming effect).

• When the user hover out it should goes to the previous state.(normal size)

The table structure is already given above.

Answer 1

Positioning of table cells is problematic. The usual solution is to leave the style of the td alone, and put a div in it which you make position:relative. Then place the content inside that div.

<td> <!-- no style at all -->
 <div style="position:relative;">
  <div style="position:absolute"> <!-- original div -->
   <contents>
  </div>
 </div>
</td>

Edit:
I don't know which effect you're after, but here's a jsFiddle demonstrating the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/ygP7k/5/
It has a table with little absolutely positioned divs in each table cell, that are supposed to align to the bottom right corners. It works in all browsers except Mozilla ones.

But here is an updated one with the extra divs as I mentioned: http://jsfiddle.net/ygP7k/7/
This works exactly the same, except that it also does the trick in Firefox.

Can you work with this? Does this answer your question?
