Here is a complete test case:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body, ul, li, div, span {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
ul.container {
display: table;
list-style-type: none;
margin-right: 24px;
position: relative;
}
ul.container li {
display: table-cell;
position: relative;
}
ul.container div, ul.container span {
border: 1px dotted #000;
}
ul.container div {
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 40px;
background-color: #008000;
}
ul.container span {
display: block;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
background-color: #9acd32;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul class="container">
<li>
<span>Alice</span>
<div>Alice</div>
</li>
<li>
<span>Bob</span>
<div>Bob</div>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
Absolutely positioned div
has li
as offsetParent
in IE9 and Opera, while WebKit and Firefox set offsetParent
to body
.
IE9, Opera
Firefox 4, WebKit
My question is: what is the correct behavior?
Because ul.container div
has position: absolute;left: 0;
I think that Firefox and Webkit have the correct behavior. I don't know what you need to achieve, if the appearance of IE9 and Opera is the correct then I suggest you to remove position: absolute;left: 0;
