I have had a question that has plagued me for awhile now

When absolutely positioning a div [div_a] inside of positioned div [div_b].

[div_a] is supposed to use [div_b] as it's containing block and position itself relative to [div_b]. correct?

I would just like to know if in this scenario, [div_b] must be absolutely positioned?

It seems with IE [div_b] can be relative positioned, but if Fire Fox [div_b] must be absolute.

Is this true? or have I failed in coding somewhere? If this is true are there any workarounds?

Thanks for your help

Not true. You failed. ;)
