Description Kang-Hao (Kenny) Lu 2012-02-28 23:46:46 UTC
Section: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-images/#radial-gradients (4.2.1 in particular)

I would expect to see the corresponding part in css3-background when I click <position>. No strong opinion though.

Section: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-images/#object-position

Ditto. Linking to how <position> is used in radial-gradient() is certainly confusing.
Comment 1 Kang-Hao (Kenny) Lu 2012-02-29 00:03:26 UTC
Alternatively, you can say <position> is defined in css3-val and link there. I'll note that css3-background is not listed as a normative reference at the time.

Nevermind. The spec already does this.

Since I seem to already be doing what you're asking, I can just close this bug, right?  I'm confused.  ^_^

No. Both instances of <position> now link to how they are used as an argument to radial-gradient() but not how they are defined. This is particularly confusing for the second instance in the description of 'object-position'.

I would expect to see the corresponding part in css3-values when I click on any <position>.
Comment 5 Tab Atkins Jr. 2012-02-29 01:01:09 UTC
Ah, indeed.  I didn't realize that <position> was just linking to radial-gradient's argument.  There was a FIXME comment in the source with a link to V&U. ^_^

I've fixed it so that both the radial-gradient() and object-position use of <position> link to V&U.  Note that this link is broken until we republish V&U, which we intended to do a long time ago and will get on top of immediately.  For now, just pretend that the V&U WD has been updated to the latest ED.

You can link to the ED in the css3-images ED though (if that's doable). I actually prefer that way.
