Test result on Internet Explorer 7

As you see IE7 gives the same result as Firefox.

The comments on other bugs ([1], [2], [3]) suggest very strongly that WebKit
tries to match Firefox here, which is why I assumed this was the case. But the
real problem is that both FF and IE provide other methods of finding element
positions, whereas on WebKit we are left with the notoriously unreliable,
quirky and underdocumented offset* properties. So I guess any behaviour with a
clean specification would be preferable to following the dozens of quirks in
other browsers, plus some WebKit-specific ones. (From my tests, Konqueror's
implementation appears to be the most predictable and useful of them all - but
it's different from all the others...)
