Any idea why it behaves differently when the absolute coordinates
are in a <style> tag versus when they're attached to the image
directly?

Using the page style like that sounds a lot harder for a dynamic
JavaScript page. Is it even possible to change page style (as
opposed to changing the style of one specific element) from
JavaScript?
