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?
