I'm working with SVG in an HTML document. For some reason in Chrome, any content in any <foreignObject> element appears in the top left corner of the <svg> element's parent element; as though the <foreignObject> element was absolutely positioned or something. I don't have this problem in Firefox.
What could be causing this? How can I fix it?
Here is my test case: (the example is also on JsFiddle)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>SVG bug in Chrome?</title>
<style type="text/css">
code {
background: #FFFAEE;
}
pre code {
display:block;
}
.widget-body {
background:yellow;
position: relative; /* This is the problem! */
}
</style>
<body>
<h1>SVG bug in Chrome?</h1>
<div>
<p>
The elemts in the <foreignObject> are not positioned properly unless the <code>.widget-body</code> rule is changed to:
<pre><code>.widget-body {
background:yellow;
/* position: relative; /* This is the problem! */
position: static;
}</code></pre>
</p>
<h2>The Example:</h2>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" width="1000" height="800">
<g>
<g transform="scale(1) translate(100, 200)" style="cursor: move;"><foreignobject pointer-events="fill" width="300" height="350">
<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="margin: 0px; height: 100%;">
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(119, 68, 0); font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-weight: normal; border-style: none;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; white-space: nowrap;">
<div style="width:300px;height:350px;position:static;">
<div class="widget" style="width: 300px;">
<div style="-moz-user-select: none;">
<span>My Widget Title</span>
</div>
<div>
<div class="widget-body" style="width: 298px; height: 323px;">
<div style="width: 298px; height: 323px;">
<div style="width: 298px; height: 323px;">
This position of this yellow square <br />should approximately (100, 200)
<div style="position:absolute;bottom:0;right:0;background:red;color:white;font-weight:bold;">
This red square <br />should be <br />in the bottom right corner <br />of the yellow square.
</div>

What I expect to see (which is what I see in FireFox) is this:
What I get in Chrome (15.0.874.121 on Fedora and on an Android Tablet) is this:
I have minimal control over my HTML content as I am using both a JavaScript Framework for rich apps and pre-existing widgets.
