# CSS2.1

The [CSS2.1 specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/) is a revision of of [CSS2](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/) that corrects many errors and omissions in the CSS2 Recommendation. It has also dropped unimplemented features and introduced a handful of minor new ones.

TODO: Audit issues list and make sure each issue has tests in the test suite. Then institute policy that issues cannot be marked as closed until there is a test checked in for that issue.

**CSS 2.1 bugs/issues are *no longer* tracked on this wiki page.  New issues on CSS 2.1 should go in Bugzilla. (See [existing open bugs](http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product=CSS&component=Issues+with+the+CSS+level+2+revision+1+specification&resolution=---), or [file a new bug](http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/enter_bug.cgi?assigned_to=bert%40w3.org&blocked=&bug_file_loc=http%3A%2F%2F&bug_severity=normal&bug_status=NEW&comment=&component=Issues%20with%20the%20CSS%20level%202%20revision%201%20specification&contenttypeentry=&contenttypemethod=autodetect&contenttypeselection=text%2Fplain&data=&dependson=&description=&form_name=enter_bug&keywords=&maketemplate=Remember%20values%20as%20bookmarkable%20template&op_sys=All&priority=P2&product=CSS&qa_contact=&rep_platform=All&short_desc=&target_milestone=---&version=unspecified) but please discuss on the ([archived](http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/)) public mailing list [www-style@w3.org](/mailto/www-style@w3.org/) (see [instructions](http://www.w3.org/Mail/Request)) first).**  From there, they find their way to the [ errata document](http://www.w3.org/Style/css2-updates/REC-CSS2-20110607-errata.html ).

Mailing list sweeps:
- Up to 2011-01-07 – fantasai, arronei
- From 2011-05-01 to 2012-04-30 (and ongoing) - antonp

TODO: perform mailing list sweep for Jan to April 2011; perform sweep for 2010 specifically looking for items marked for consideration in errata; comprehensively review this wiki page to ensure that errata items are captured and moved to Bugzilla (antonp).

## Current Issues

### Issue 142

URL : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Sep/0126.html #4

Summary : clarify terms like "ancestor box", whether referring to formatting structure or document tree. Spec contains only 3 instances of ancestor box. They are all in section 10.1.

Resolution : Agreed this is ambiguous.

Proposal : [first version,](http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Aug/0436.html) [second version, with support for run-in](http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Oct/0042.html)

Follow-up 1 : There is probably an [error](http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Oct/0044.html) in the resolution of [issue 120](/#issue-120/). If so, the proposal needs changing.

Follow-up 2 : [Boris Zbarsky asks](http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Aug/0443.html) that the containing block of an element inside a table, in the absence of a table element, be created from the height of the row and the width of the column, even if one or both of those are implied rather than actual elements. If we accept that change, the proposal needs changing.

Resolution : Push to errata.

Status : Open. =errata=

### Issue 153

URL : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite/2010Jan/0030.html

Summary : Clarify which box of a replaced element is vertical-aligned

Testcase : http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS2.1/20100127/html4/c44-ln-box-002.htm

Testcase : data:text/html;charset=utf-8,%3C!DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0D%0A%3Cp%20style%3D%22border%3A%201px%20solid%20gray%3B%22%3E%3Cspan%20style%3D%22background%3A%20silver%3B%22%3E<u>Xx-%20%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ftest.csswg.org%2Fsource%2Fapproved%2Fsupport%2Fsquare-purple.png%22%20style%3D%22vertical-align%3A%20middle%3B%20margin-top%3A%20100px%3B%20border%3A%20solid%2010px%20aqua%3B%20border-bottom-width%3A%2040px%3B%22%3E%20-xX</u>_

Proposal : "In the following definitions, for replaced, inline-block, and inline-table elements, the box used for alignment is the margin box. For inline non-replaced elements, the box used for alignment is undefined."

Second proposal : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Jun/0570.html

Resolution : Second proposal accepted.

Follow-up 1 : The term "the box whose height is 'line-height'" isn't actually defined anywhere and indeed can't be. (The intended boxes are typically of that height, but it depends on whether they contain glyphs in fallback fonts.) We need to define the box we need somewhere, or characterize it better. See [thread.](http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Oct/0045.html)  See also sylvain's comment in the March f2f minutes

Resolution : from 2011-03-29 telcon: "If a shortened line box is too small to contain any content ~~after the float~~, then ~~that content~~ <ins>the line box</ins> is shifted downward <ins>(and its width recomputed)</ins>

### Issue 285

Summary : Clearance moving things up (revisited)

URI : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Dec/0474.html + http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Mar/0427.html

Testcases : margin-collapse-clear-005/011 and others

Resolution : Have CSS2.1 allow two possible margin collapsing behaviors in the margin-collapse-clear case: the hypothetical position before clearance is applied may be calculated either with respect to the parent block (which prevents the second clearance calculation from ever being applied), or with respect to the containing block formatting context (which fulfills the intent of adding the second clearance calculation). The preferred behavior is the latter, since it doesn't mysteriously eat margins and make clear to make things move up. But because all browsers do the former, we need to evaluate web compat (which will take some experimentation and some time).
