9 Visual formatting model
9.1 Introduction to the visual formatting model
9.1.1 The viewport
Viewport resize can change layout
  • Resizing the viewport may change the layout of page.
I
Scrolling mechanism
  • Scrolling mechanism should be available when canvas is larger than viewport.
I
Scrolling mechanism and right-to-left
  • Scrolling mechanism should be available when canvas is larger than viewport even when page is set to right-to-left.
I
Rendering more than one canvas
  • User agents may render more than one canvas.
9.1.2 Containing blocks
Element position based on containing block
  • An element's position is based on the position of its containing block.
Content is not confined by containing blocks
  • Content may overflow containing blocks.
9.2 Controlling box generation
9.2.1 Block-level elements and block boxes
Block-level elements generate principal block boxes with block boxes
  • Block boxes can reside within a principal block box established by a block-level element; inline boxes are outside of the principal block box.
Block-level elements generate principal block boxes with inline boxes
  • Inline boxes can reside within a principal block box established by a block-level element; block boxes are outside of the principal block box.
Additional boxes generated outside the principal block box
  • Some block-level elements (i.e. 'list-item' elements) can generate additional boxes outside the principal block box.
Principal block box establishes the containing block
  • Principal block boxes establish a containing block for descendant boxes.
Principal block box establishes the containing block for generated content
  • Principal block boxes establish a containing block for generated content.
9.2.1.1 Anonymous block boxes
Anonymous box property inheritance
  • Anonymous boxes inherit property values from their non-anonymous box.
A
Anonymous block box generation
  • Block boxes with inline content followed by a block box generate an anonymous block box around the inline content.
Anonymous run-in box generation
  • Block boxes with inline content followed by a run-in box generate an anonymous run-in box around the inline content.
Inline box containing block boxes
  • Inline boxes that contain block boxes will break up the inline content around the block box.
Block boxes within inline boxes are affected by positioning
  • Block boxes within inline boxes are also affected by relative positioning on the inline box.
9.2.2 Inline-level elements and inline boxes
9.2.2.1 Anonymous inline boxes

  • White space is collapsed according to the 'white-space' property and does not generate an anonymous inline box.
9.2.3 Run-in boxes
Run-in with a block box converts to a block box

  • Relatively positioned element with 'right' set to 'auto' and 'left' set to a value appears at expected offset.
Over-constrained situation with position 'left' property
  • If the 'direction' property of the containing block is 'ltr', the value of 'left' wins and 'right' becomes negative 'left'.

  • Computed value of 'bottom' set to 'auto' is equal to negative 'top'.
Relative positioning 'bottom' ignored if 'top' and 'bottom' are both not 'auto'
  • The 'bottom' value is ignored if neither 'top' or 'bottom' is 'auto'.
Relative positioning and overflow: auto
  • If relative positioning causes overflow the user agent needs to provide a scrolling mechanism to all of the content at its offset position.
I
Relative positioning and overflow: scroll
  • If relative positioning causes overflow the user agent needs to provide a scrolling mechanism to all of the content at its offset position.
I
Relative positioning with left canceled out by right position
  • Relative positioning with left and right values that cancel each other out appear at the original offset before applying left or right.
