What I'm trying to do is place divs within table data elements with
absolute values in relation to the td container. The problem is, in
order to do that, you have to use position; relative (or other position
type) for the container. Otherwise, the objects contained within the
container will just ignore the container. The problem is that IE works
and FF doesn't. To make FF work, it was recommended that I use
display: block;. That works for that td, but breaks the rest of the
table.

So, maybe I'm just barking up the wrong tree with this design, and I
know I can solve all of this by using a div within the td, but I don't
like that because then I'm changing the markup to cater to the display,
which is generally bad.

Does that make sense?
