I believe the pass condition of the following tests is backwards: http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101001/html4/containing-block-018.htm http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101001/xhtml1/containing-block-018.xht http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101001/html4/containing-block-020.htm http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101001/xhtml1/containing-block-020.xht http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/22101001/html4/containing-block-022.htm http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/22101001/xhtml1/containing-block-022.xht though I also don't think they're testing what they intended to test (though they are, nonetheless, good tests that we should have, once the pass condition is corrected). These tests have a blue absolutely positioned element whose left, right, top, and bottom are all auto. This means we fall into bullet point (2) in section 10.3.7, which depends on the 'direction' of the static-position containing block. In these tests, the static-position containing block is the parent, which has direction 'rtl'. (The containing block itself is the grandparent, with direction: rtl.) This means 'right' (and 'top') should end up being set to the static position, which is the center of the div (since the parent is 0x0), and the block should be in the lower *left* corner of the box, not the lower right. (That said, this is a pretty complicated testcase and I'm not sure of my analysis.) -David -- L. David Baron http://dbaron.org/ Mozilla Corporation http://www.mozilla.com/
