(I haven't looked at the original reference, so this is a general explanation, but it should apply to this instance) An absolutely positioned block will take its position relative to the page root. If you want it to take its position from the parent block instead, then that parent block needs to have style of position: relative. This moves the reference. Its just 'how it works'.
