It seems Firefox and IE8 don't do margin collapsing when determining the static position of an abs. pos. I haven't thought hard about what complications might be hidden there, but on the surface it seems like a bug to me. The spec basically allows all sorts of things though - "user agents are free to make a guess at its probable position" - so strictly speaking I guess the TC isn't even valid per spec. > Does this mean that both a square and a rectangle are correct as output? > Or how should we read 'block' as one of the two only? In general, I believe "block" is supposed to mean rectangle (whether square or not). -- Øyvind Stenhaug Core Norway, Opera Software ASAReceived on Thursday, 3 February 2011 11:20:43 UTC
