[css-flexbox] static position of absolutely-positioned flex items still "at-risk"? from Daniel Holbert on 2013-09-12 (www-style@w3.org from September 2013) (original) (raw)

P.S. Let me know if that makes sense. :)

One clarification on the new spec text:

Its static position is calculated by first doing full

flex layout without the absolutely-positioned elements,

then positioning each absolutely-positioned child as

if it were the sole flex item in the flex container,

assuming it was a fixed size box of its used size.

It'd be worth clarifying whether the "it" in that last line refers to the abspos child or the container. (I think it refers to the container?) i.e. I think "assuming the flex container was a fixed size box of its used size" would be clearer.

ALSO, one question: should we honor "flex-grow" on abspos children now? (so e.g. "flex: 1" on an abspos child would make its main-size grow to the container's main-size, modulo limitations imposed by max-width/max-height)
