[jQuery] Cycle Plugin Adds Relative Position to Slideshow Container

[Derek Perkins]

I'm using Cycle in a number of places on my site, but I'm having an
issue with absolute placement in WebKit browsers (Safari & Chrome).
My site is available here:

My issue is that in Firefox, IE and Opera, Cycle adds in some inline
style elements (overflow:hidden), but in WebKit, it also adds
(position:relative).  Why would it be doing that only in those
browsers?

Here is the CSS and the Javascript for my top level Cycle container.

#slideshow {
        position:absolute;
        width:240px;
        height:240px;
        right: 15px;
        bottom:75px;
        }

       jQuery(document).ready(jQuery('#slideshow').after('<ul
id="cycle_nav">').cycle({
        fx:     'uncover',
        speed:  'slow',
        timeout: 0,
        pager:  '#cycle_nav',
        direction: 'down',
        timeout:  8000,
                prev:    '#slidePrev',
        next:    '#slideNext',
                fit:      1,
                containerResize: 0,


        // callback fn that creates a thumbnail to use as pager
anchor
        pagerAnchorBuilder: function(idx, slide) {
                        if(jQuery.browser.msie) {
                                return '<li><a class="thumbnav" href="#"><img 
src="' +
slide.childNodes[0].src + '" /></a></li>'; }
                        else {
                return '<li><a class="thumbnav" href="#"><img src="' +
slide.childNodes[1].src + '" /></a></li>'; }
        }
    }));
