Position:Absolute|Relative Difference with Firefox and IE7

I'm having a problem rendering a simple div tag in both IE7 and Firefox. The page can be found at: http://www.acorndesignstudio.com/altindex.html

A <td> tag contains a "position:relative" style and the div tag contains "position:absolute". IE7 interprets this to be absolute with respect to the td tag while Firefox interprets this to be absolute to the browser window. Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance. I've read a lot of posts regarding the differences between these two browsers but don't see this specific issue or a cure.

Thanks,
Ray
