Adding an element to the bottom of the body. Thats Easy, yes ?

Show all headers | View raw

Hello all,

I'm appending, using GreaseMonkey, an element to the body of a webpage. 
Although the appending itself works, the placement of the appended element 
sometimes causes a problem: it gets placed at the top, over the original 
contents.

The below URL is an example for when that it happens :

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335545

I've been able to track the problem back to the '<div id="wrapper">' 
element, which gets a "position: absolute;" setting (removing/disabeling 
either the ID or the position moves the appended element back to the bottom, 
where its supposed to be).

The thing is that I'm looking for a generic (CSS) solution, not a 
page-specific one.

I've tried several things, including following the above div with another 
div containing the "clear: both" style, but nothing I try seems to work.

Does anyone have an idea what I would need to use for a generic solution ?

By the way, I've been humoring the thought of going thru all elements and 
attempt to remove any-and-all "position" settings, but that could be rather 
time-consuming - and I'm not even sure if it would work.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
