Problems with absolute positiones block container

["Bargel, Britta" <bb...@actis.de>]

Hello,

Following problem:

I have a table and under this table a block container with absolute
positioning.
When the table get so long that there isn't enough space for the content of
the 
block container it doesn't make a page break before the block container but
it 
writes the content over the last table rows.

Is there any idea how to avoid this?

Thank you

Britta

block-containers when absolutely positioned are not considered when the 
flow is laid out. This effect is desirable in certain scenarios.

One way to achieve what you want is to use fo:footnotes instead. They 
will always be positioned at the bottom of the page on which they occur 
and the space allowed for the flow (your table in this case) is reduced 
according to the size of the footnotes.
