Hello all, I was looking at some background positioning code that i never really thought about until recently... I was making a background image on a div with 'top left' declaration and was saying to myself... 'Okay for some reason CSS guys choose to do Y positioning 1st in the declaration and then X'.. Am i correct in thinking 'top center bottom' is related to Y positioning and 'left center right' is X positioning ?....
Then I was changing the code to center image vertically with percentage values and realized the declaration for non-keyword values looks like 'X% Y%' or 'Xpx Ypx'. So X positioning comes first and Y next when not using keywords? Why the heck did the css spec writers do this? So its like a 'center left' declaration is same as '0% 50%' but isnt it counterintuitive for the spec to be written this way? Maybe there is a simple answer and I'm just being retarted since its late and im not thinking right. Guess i never really noticed this is how it is set up before because if my image wasnt showing up correctly id say to myself, 'Oh of course X positioning comes 1st'... but then id use positioning keywords some other time , and say to myself 'i would have thought X comes 1st, but i guess not' hehe.
