Hello, 1- 7. Positioning schemes http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/css3-positioning/#positioning-schemes and 11. Relationships between 'display', 'position', and 'float' http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/css3-positioning/#relationship-bet-display-position-float I think it should be said clearly and explicitly that floats are laid out, then taken out of the flow and positioned within content *_before_* positioned elements are taken out of flow and positioned. I know that this is not easy to establish and find out in CSS 2.1. Section 11. may even suggest absolutely positioned boxes are positioned before floated elements are positioned within content. [Addendum: http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/css3-positioning/#painting-order 14.1.2 Painting order section states "5. All non-positioned floating descendants, in tree order. (...) 8. All positioned descendants with 'z-index: auto' or 'z-index: 0', in tree order." ] 2- positioined is mispelled in http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/css3-positioning/#positioning-schemes 3- 7.4 Fixed positioning, Example V http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/css3-positioning/#fixed-positioning Load this example into a browser and compare with the screenshot. I tried this a few years ago and never came close to the screenshot. I may still have somewhere the example on which I was working on. Consider this as a suggestion: any/all examples given in CSS3 positioning module should have correspondent links to real webpages where readers can view examples for real. 4- 9. Box offsets: 'top', 'right', 'bottom', 'left' http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/css3-positioning/#box-offsets-trbl "Computed value: for ‘position: relative’, see Relative Positioning." Relative Positioning link ( http://www.w3.org/Style/Group/css3-src/css3-positioning/Overview.html#relative-positioning ) is unretrievable, password-protected. 5- 11. Relationships between 'display', 'position', and 'float' says "Otherwise, if 'position' has the value 'absolute', 'page' or 'fixed', and the value of 'float' is not 'none', the box is absolutely positioned and floated." http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/css3-positioning/#relationship-bet-display-position-float In that sentence, I suggest to replace "is not 'none'" with "is 'positioned'". 6- 13. Clipping http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/css3-positioning/#clip-property It should be "inset()" everywhere or "inset-rect()" everywhere. There is a small error. Suggestion: the Figure 1 diagram should identify top, right, bottom, left related red arrows. regards, Gérard Talbot -- CSS 2.1 Test suite RC6, March 23rd 2011 http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/toc.html Contributions to CSS 2.1 test suite http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/ Web authors' contributions to CSS 2.1 test suite http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/web-authors-contributions-css21-testsuite.html
