Does adding a position: absolute to a block element make it behave like an inline? [closed]

Question

#x {
    background: red;
    height: 100px;
}
#y {
    background: blue;
    height: 100px;
    position: absolute;
}

<div id="x">div 1</div>
<div id="y">div 2</div>

position: absolute;

On the div is making it behave like an inline element. Remove the property and we see that the div behaves like it should, a block element.

My question - Does just adding a position: absolute to a block element make it behave like an inline?

Answer 1

Here is an excerpt from the Mozila Developer Network page:

Most of the time, absolutely positioned elements have auto values of height and width computed to fit the contents of the element. However, non-replaced absolutely positioned elements can be made to fill the available space by specifying (as other than auto) both top and bottom and leaving height unspecified (that is, auto). Likewise for left, right, and width.

So, as others have specified, it does not make it an inline element. It just adjusts it's height and width to take up only as much space as it requires.
