Description Frank DENIS 2009-02-23 09:19:09 PST 
With recent nightly builds, elements having position:fixed have a null offsetParent property.

The following snippet should return the body node :

<!doctype html>
<html>
<body onload="alert(document.getElementById('hop').offsetParent);">
  <div id="hop" style="position:fixed">Test</div>
</body>
</html>

This bug depends on bug 19149 . One of them is invalid.

According to W3C specs[1], this is correct behavior. This is actually a progression, not a regression, if the spec is treated as canon.
