Absolute positioning is done with respect to the edges of the
"containing block". This is the first ancestor element which is
"positioned". "Positioned" means "Has a value for the position
property other than "static".
If there is no containing block then positioning is with respect to
the region bounded by the viewport when the browser is scrolled to the
top.
The solution is to set the position property to something other than
static (relative is the usual choice) on the body. (I don't do this
often, but I have a feeling that MSIE objects to it).
