Hi all, I've been playing with clip recently and it seems to me the spec is a bit counter-intuitive. It is particularly irritating if you are clipping non-fixed width elements because if you don't want it to be clipped on the right, you have to specify its width for that value. Surely it would be more logical for each value to represent how much is clipped from that edge of the rectangle? For example:
clip:rect(10px 100px 80px 20px); If the element to be clipped is 100px x 80px, this will cause it to be clipped to an area 70px x 80px, where it is clipped 10px at the top and 20px on the left. This is fine, but why should it be necessary to specify 100px for the right and 80px for the bottom? It seems to me it would be more sensible for these values to be 0 to achieve this effect. It's easier to get your head around. Also, why is it that it applies only to absolutely positioned elements? Why not relatively positioned ones?
