@rniwa then it looks like it's now completely impossible to discover for the node C that it's inside a fixed container. We have a component that should behave differently inside a fixed container. So we use a fixed container detection. Previously, it was safe to walk through `.offsetParent`s chain and check their computed styles. Now the detection is broken. Aside from that, `offsetParent` has another use case: for an absolutely positioned node it points to the containing block. This is also broken here. In my example, if I assign `position: absolute` to the node C, its containing block will be the node B, but `offsetParent` will be null. -- GitHub Notification of comment by platosha Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/159#issuecomment-226120778 using your GitHub account
