The map consists of a number of tiles, each in a table cell. At each
vertical edge of the map is a full-height table cell. What's vexing me
is trying to find a way to position the '+' and '-' controls at the
top of the right-hand cell while keeping the 'scroll right' control in
the centre of the same cell.

I've tried using position:absolute, but that
positions the controls absolutely on the page while I need them
positioned relative to the top edge of the table cell.
It sounds like you need to set position: relative on the td element. That
way, it will establish a system of coordinates for "absolutely" positioned
elements inside it - i.e., they will be positioned relative to the upper
left corner of the cell.
