I just wanted to add for "others" (even though it not strictly related to the topic and not the ops problem).

Please ensure you use a "px" for your value. i.e. -9999px not -9999.

I've just spent 10 mins trying to debug why this didn't work. Staring at the value right in front of me.

I've been doing alot of Silverlight lately and so my mind didn't flip over to CSS markup requirements fast enough. Grrr.

You must include a unit of measurement.... or else it will just silently fail.
