absolute positioning of form elements works in this testcase onlyin IE. Why?

xHTML 1.0 strict and valid css.

But though only IE shows up like I like it.
Not Opera7.50PR1, not Mozilla1.6.

Mozilla and Opera doesnt take interest in absolute positioning
herein this testcase (2800 B) at all:

(MSIE screenshot http://www.hot.ee/idaliiga/bronn1test.gif)
How then can I position those form elements and labels relative
to the <div class="clientarea"> like on the screenshot?
I would like positioned the labels with form controls as such:

--
dropdwnlabel dropdwnlabel
dropdown image dropdown

dropdwnlabel dropdown radio radiolabel
dropdwnlabel dropdown radio radiolabel
--
Thanks! =D

Like I mentioned in de.comm.infosystems.www.authoring.misc, it works in
Mozilla 1.3.

I just checked downstairs with Mozilla 1.3 and 1.4 on other computers
and it *isnt fine*. It looks the same as by Mozilla 1.6, where tehe
elements are not positioned but come like simple inline unpositioned text.

Would You please be able to upload the screenshot of what You see
in Your Mozilla1.3 somehere on the web?

What I see (and isnt acceptable) is

What I see with IE is

Hoping to see screenshots from You.

..step1regform-flightdestinationspassengercounts .clientarea label{

me hours of time, You were very helpful. Danke! =D
