Description Mathias Nater 2005-11-03 10:04:25 PST 
Hi!

I repoduced the 'bug' in the file mentioned.
Safari 416.12 doesn't display anything at all while FireFox 1.0.7 and Opera 9.0Beta display the red 
square.

The difference is that Safari also changes the visibility of the the child when its parents visibility is 
changed. The other browsers don't.
The workaround is easy - but it's work...

I'm not sure if this is a bug in Safari or FireFox. If it is then let me know. I'll post it there.

Thanks

Confirmed, our behavior is different from Opera and Firefox in this.

Visibility testcase

Safari's behavior only differs when the outer element has position: absolute
If you remove that, it will work as expected.
