position:absolute not supported in CSS?

[alexeyg]

Having problems getting absolute positioning to work in a Layout...

From Index.jsp:

div id="leftnavbox">
<p:region regionName='left' regionID='leftnavbox'/>
/div>

From CSS:

#leftnavbox {
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:94px;
width:165px;
height:312px;
background-color:#ffffff;
}

Configuration seems OK - Theme deploys, CSS is found and linked up with the Layout. Background tag from CSS works. However, position:absolute from CSS does not. Please help.

sorry about the double post... tags did not show up properly in the quote of the first one.

what's the reasoning behind not allowing us to edit/delete?
