And in Safari ... and doubtless other reasonably standard  
compliant browsers. It is a typical example of using the wrong  
type of tool to try to mimic a printed page, namely absolute  
positioning instead of a PDF. The material is simple enough to  
quite do without all the need for any positioning at all. It is  
headings and paras and a couple of pics. Why would you not simply  
go down the page with these and style the elements lightly to  
suit the conveying of the information and text and background  
colours and leave it at that?
