First, which version of Opera are you testing ?
7.5blah, 8.02, 8.5
Second, what kind of content goes into that absolute positioned element ?
Text
If I put an element with just some static text in, Opera 7.5 - 9 prev display the same as Firefox (1.6a1 nightly), Camino (1.0b), iCab, Safari 1.2+.
Doesn't for me. One of my many irritations with Opera.
The spec doesn't specify exactly what should happen; here is the key: <quote> CSS 2.1 does not define the exact algorithm</quote>
Well yes, but essentially it is either going to expand to 100%, shrink to the minimum width or shrink to fit the available space.
What exactly is a line break ? Does the end of a *floated* span constitute a line break in this context ?
