I am asking because IE8b1 still places an absolutely positioned box with auto-offset next to a preceeding float, and my question is if the sentence "user agents are free to make a guess at its probable position" (CSS 2.1: 10.3.7 and 10.6.4) covers that behavior or not. I agree the spec should not encourage such a divergence in actual rendering, therefore, the sentence should be clarified, or better, removed. Sorry if I am misinterpreting that sentence. regards, Ingo -- Ingo Chao http://www.satzansatz.de/
