Details |
An absolutely positioned element whose container is an empty relatively
positioned element is not rendered.
Example (full HTML in attachment):
--------------------
.outer { position: relative; }
.inner { position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 0px; }
...
BODY-TEXT
<SPAN class="outer">
BEGIN-OUTER
<SPAN class="inner">
INNER
</SPAN>
END-OUTER
</SPAN>
BODY-TEXT
--------------------
Above, "INNER" is rendered slightly below "BEGIN-OUTER", which is correct.
However, if you delete the text 'BEGIN-OUTER' and 'END-OUTER' then 'INNER' is
not rendered anywhere.
Tested in Mozilla 0.9.2.
This trick seems useful for adding annotation to text (without disturbing flow).
Is there a more elegant way of doing that?

yet another block-in-inline problem. Making the outer element a display:block
element makes things work...
