ISSUE-138: absolute positioning of children of flexbox

absolute positioning of children of flexbox

State:

CLOSED

Product:

CSS3 Flexbox

Raised by:

Alex Mogilevsky

Opened on:

2010-08-23

Description:

Issue:
When children of a flexbox are absolute positioned, how is the "auto" position calculated?
Proposal:
Absolute or fixed positioned children of flexbox are wrapped into anonymous text block, with adjacent inline content as appropriate. Determination of positioning parent and the hypothetical static position follows CSS2.1 rules with no additional logic. Flex values on positioned children of flexbox are ignored.
