Manuel Mall a écrit :

 My understanding of the spec is that for top and bottom percentages
 only make sense if the containing block has a fixed height. If the
 containing block has a variable height percentages are suppose to be
 ignored and the property value assumed to be auto.

I second that, see the CSS2 spec [1]: For 'top' and 'bottom', if the
height of the containing block is not specified explicitly (i.e., it
depends on content height), the percentage value is interpreted like
'auto'.

CSS doesn't have the last word here. See the definition for the 'left' property 
(XSL-FO 1.1 - §7.6.5) all the way at the bottom. In XSL, these are interpreted 
relative to the prevailing coördinate system. Not to the containing block as in 
CSS, but to the nearest ancestor reference area.

I'd think a similar substitution holds for the definition of a percentage 
value a bit higher up, so that the offset is a percentage of the /nearest 
ancestor reference area/'s width

Agreed?

Cheers,

Andreas

AFAICT, I don't think you've got everything nailed down here. As Vincent 
already mentioned the ancestor reference area could change depending on 
the value of abolute-position property. So can you clarify exactly how 
you intend to resolve the % for top and left for all values of 
absolute-position property of BC? Thanks,


Chris

Hmm, I don't completely agree with Vincent's assessment...

absolute-position=absolute
- The area's position (and possibly size) is specified with the left, 
right, top, and bottom properties. These properties specify offsets with 
respect to the area's nearest ancestor reference area.

absolute-position=fixed
- The area's position is calculated according to the absolute model...

Whatever follows in that second definition is irrelevant wrt determining the 
base for percentage values to compute the initial offset (or IOW: determining 
which is the nearest ancestor reference area)

Leaves my original question:
What I'm still not sure about is:
Absolutely positioned areas are taken out of the normal flow.
Does that mean that percentages on any block-container with position=absolute 
should always be based on the containing page?

Any other (dissenting) thoughts?

Cheers,

Andreas

Patch file

Following feedback from Andreas - thanks v much for taking the time to look at
this :-),  I have made a very minor modification to the MacFontDirFinder.  It
should hopefully now be able to detect fonts that have been installed under
user home directory (i.e. ~/Library/Fonts).  Please try this patch out on your
system Andreas.  I would encourage, maybe even urge ;-) someone to commit this
patch soon as it is a large patch that touches upon a number of files (see file
list) and is therefore likely to become out of date quickly with commits to the
repository.

Kind regards,

Adrian.
