hello, tooltips, flyouts, dropdowns are very common use cases for positioned elements but these are not actually possible when they are displayed inside a small overflow:hidden element http://i.imgur.com/Iv22uqz.png <div style="overflow:hidden;background:menu"> <!-- tabbox scroll helpers --> <a style="position:relative;"> File <ul style="background:menu;position:absolute;top:100%;left:0;"> <li>Save</li><li>Save All</li><li>Close</li><li>This will not be visible</li> </ul> </a> </div> it would be a good idea to have a way to extract these elements from within the "overflow viewport" (using for example ul{overflow-extract:1;} where 1 represents is the first closest "overflow:hidden|scroll element" in the ancestors tree) do we need this instead of simply positioning the element outside the overflow's viewport? here are some PROs: - proper/natural event tree propagation/event retargeting - proper/natural tree styling Giorgio
