I'm trying to select a row from a table in a 'dialog box' where the
HTML is (boiled down):
<body>
<div style='position :absolute; display:block;. ..'>
...other divs...
<div style='position :absolute...'>
...other divs...
<div style='display: block; overflow:auto; margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto; width:...'>
<table style='width:10 0%;'>
<tr></tr>
<tr></tr>
</table>
</div>
...other divs...
</div>
</div>
</body>
Working upward through the chain of offsetParents to get
offsetTop and scrollTop works fine in IE. But FF skips the
overflow:auto div, it doesn't appear in the chain.
So, how do I get this to work correctly with IE and FF?

The "display:bl ock" rule is redundant here.

That is because IE and FF implement offsetParent differently.

Are you trying to create a generalized solution? If so, see the
parentNode property. If not, just adjust for the scrollTop/Left
properties of the known scrolling container.

No big. It's coming from a combination of
stylesheet rules.

parentNode it is then, I'm trying to get as many
generalized sol'ns as possible to sit in one file
and cut down on the amount of specific javascript
that is required.

In XHTML mode (application/xhtml+xml) Firefox does not know offset

Does someone has the same problem or knows a solution for this?
