Abstract: This CSS module describes the 'contain' property, which indicates that the element's subtree is independent of the rest of the page. This enables heavy optimizations by user agents when used well.

<h2 id='intro'>
Introduction</h2>
Efficiently rendering a website relies on the User Agent being able to detect what parts of the page are being displayed,
which parts might affect the currently-displayed section,
and what can be ignored.
There are various heuristics that can be used to guess when a given sub-tree is independent of the rest of the page in some manner,
but they're fragile,
so innocuous changes to a page may inadvertently make it fail such heuristic tests,
causing rendering to fall into a slow code path.
There are also many things that would be good to isolate which are difficult or impossible to detect in a heuristic manner.
To alleviate these problems
and allow strong, predictable isolation of a subtree from the rest of the page,
this specification defines a 'contain' property.
<h3 id="values">
Value Definitions</h3>
This specification follows the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/about.html#property-defs">CSS property definition conventions</a> from [[!CSS2]]
using the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-3/#value-defs">value definition syntax</a> from [[!CSS-VALUES-3]].
Value types not defined in this specification are defined in CSS Values & Units [[!CSS-VALUES-3]].
Combination with other CSS modules may expand the definitions of these value types.
In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions,
all properties defined in this specification
also accept the <a>CSS-wide keywords</a> as their property value.
For readability they have not been repeated explicitly.
<h2 id='contain-property'>
Strong Containment: the 'contain' property</h2>
<div class=correction id=c1>
<span class=marker>Candidate Correction 1:</span>
This makes a minor adjustement
to the way the computed value of the 'contain' property is determined:
the shortcut values (''strict'' and ''content''),
instead of computing to themselves,
compute to the corresponding keywords.
Given than the effect on is identical,
this allows implementations not to store the precise syntax through which this was achived.
Also, thanks to the shortest-serialization princple,
this makes this unimportant difference non observable via serialization.

<p class=all-media>User Agents are expected to support this property on all media, including non-visual ones.</p>
The 'contain' property allows an author to indicate that an element and its contents are,
as much as possible,
<em>independent</em> of the rest of the document tree.
This allows user agents to utilize much stronger optimizations when rendering a page using 'contain' properly,
and allows authors to be confident that their page won't accidentally fall into a slow code path
due to an innocuous change.
<dl dfn-type=value dfn-for=contain>
<dt><dfn>none</dfn>
<dd>
This value indicates that the property has no effect.
The element renders as normal,
with no containment effects applied.
<dt><dfn>strict</dfn>
<dd>
This value <ins cite=#c1>computes to ''size layout paint'',

Note: ''contain: content'' is reasonably "safe" to apply widely;
its effects are fairly minor in practice,
and most content won't run afoul of its restrictions.
However, because it doesn't apply <a>size containment</a>,
the element can still respond to the size of its contents,
which can cause layout-invalidation to percolate further up the tree than desired.
Use ''contain: strict'' when possible,
to gain as much containment as you can.
<dt><dfn>size</dfn>
<dd>
The value turns on <a>size containment</a> for the element.
This ensures that the [=size containment box|containment box=] can be laid out

<span id="contain-applies">This property generally applies to all elements (including [[css-pseudo-4#generated-content]])</span>,
although some types of containment have no effect on some elements,
as detailed in [[#containment-types]].
In addition, in the case of [[SVG2]],
the 'contain' property only applies to <{svg}> elements that have an associated CSS layout box.
<div class='example'>
'contain' is useful when used widely on a page,
particularly when a page contains a lot of "widgets" which are all independent.
For example, assume a micropost social network had markup something like this:
<pre><code highlight=markup>
<body>
<aside>...</aside>
<section>
<h2>Messages</h2>
<article>
Lol, check out this dog: images.example.com/jsK3jkl
</article>

</code></pre>
There are probably a <em>lot</em> of messages displayed on the site,
but each is independent and won't affect anything else on the site.
As such, each can be marked with ''contain: content'' to communicate this to the user agent,
so it can optimize the page and skip a lot of computation for messages that are off-screen.
If the size of each message is known ahead of time,
''contain: strict'' can be applied to communicate further restrictions.
</div>
<h2 id='containment-types'>
Types of Containment</h2>
There are several varieties of <dfn export>containment</dfn> that an element can be subject to,
restricting the effects that its descendants can have on the rest of the page in various ways.
<a>Containment</a> enables much more powerful optimizations by user agents,
and helps authors compose their page out of functional units,
as it limits how widely a given change can affect a document.
Advisement: Specification authors introducing new properties or mechanisms
need to consider whether and how the various types of containment
affect what they are introducing,
and include in their specification any effect not described here.
<h3 id='containment-size'>
Size Containment</h3>
If the element does not generate a <a>principal box</a> (as is the case with ''display: contents'' or ''display: none''),
or its [=inner display type=] is ''display/table'',
or its principal box is an <a spec="css-display-3">internal table box</a>,
or an <a spec="css-display-3">internal ruby box</a>,
or a <a spec="css-display-3" lt="atomic inline">non-atomic</a> <a spec="css-display-3">inline-level</a> box,
size containment has no effect.

</wpt>
Note: Internal table boxes,
which do not include table captions,
are excluded,
because the table layout algorithm
does not allow boxes to become smaller than their inflow content.
Sizing a table cell as if it was empty and then layout out its content inside without changing the size
is effectively an undefined operation.
Manually setting the 'width' or 'height' properties to ''0''
cannot make it smaller than its content.
This concern does not apply to table captions,
which are perfectly capable of having a fixed size
that is independent of their content.

Otherwise, giving an element <dfn export>size containment</dfn>

The way the two normative sentences above are written was somewhat ambiguous,
causing implementers to have some doubts about the precise intended effects
in certain cases.
In order to clarify what is meant without changing the intended behavior,
The CSSWG suggest replacing this first item in the list with the following two:
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>
The [=intrinsic sizes=] of the [=size containment box=]
are determined as if the element had no content,
following the same logic as when [=sizing as if empty=].
Note: This affects explicit invocations of the ''min-content'' or ''max-content'' keywords,
as well as any calculation that depends on these measurement,
such as sizing <span class=informative>[=grid tracks=]</span> into which a size contained item is placed,
or if [=fit-content sizing=] the containment box's parent.

The [=used value|used=] 'width' and 'height' of the [=size containment box|containment box=]
are determined as if performing a normal layout of the box,

not even through pseudo elements such as ''::before'', ''::after'', or ''::marker''.

<div class=example>
Given the following markup and style, the image would be sized to 100px by 100px,
as the aspect ratio set by the 'aspect-ratio' property takes effect.
<pre><code class=lang-css>
img {
width: 100px;
aspect-ratio: 1/1;
contain: size;
}
</code><code class=lang-html>
<img src="https://www.example.com/300x100.jpg">
</code></pre>
If the 'aspect-ratio' property had not been declared,
the image would have been 100px by 0px,
as its [=natural aspect ratio=] is suppressed,
and its [=natural height=] is treated as 0.

By itself, <a>size containment</a> does not offer much optimization opportunity.
Its primary benefit on its own is that tools which want to lay out the [=size containment box|containment box=]'s contents
based on the [=size containment box|containment box=]'s size
(such as a JS library implementing the "container query" concept)
can do so without fear of "infinite loops",
where having a child's size respond to the size of the [=size containment box|containment box=]
causes the [=size containment box|containment box=]'s size to change as well,
possibly triggering <em>further</em> changes in how the child sizes itself
and possibly thus more changes to the [=size containment box|containment box=]'s size,
ad infinitum.
When paired with <a>layout containment</a>, though,
possible optimizations that can be enabled include (but are not limited to):
1. When the style or contents of a descendant of the [=size containment box|containment box=] is changed,
calculating what part of the DOM tree is "dirtied" and might need to be re-laid out
can stop at the [=size containment box|containment box=].
2. When laying out the page,
if the [=size containment box|containment box=] is off-screen or obscured,
the layout of its contents <ins cite=#c2>(i.e. "[=laying out in-place=]") </ins>can be delayed or done at a lower priority.

Layout Containment</h3>
If the element does not generate a <a>principal box</a> (as is the case with 'display' values of ''display/contents'' or ''display/none''),
or its [=principal box=] is an <a spec="css-display-3">internal table box</a> other than ''display/table-cell'',
or an <a spec="css-display-3">internal ruby box</a>,
or a <a spec="css-display-3" lt="atomic inline">non-atomic</a> <a spec="css-display-3">inline-level</a> box,
layout containment has no effect.
Otherwise, giving an element <dfn export>layout containment</dfn>
makes its [=principal box=] a <dfn>layout containment box</dfn>
and has the following effects:

1. The [=layout containment box=] [=establishes an independent formatting context=].

contain-layout-ifc-022.html
contain-layout-independent-formatting-context-001.html
contain-layout-independent-formatting-context-002.html
contain-subgrid-001.html
</wpt>
2. If at least one [=fragmentation container=] of a [=fragmentation context=] has [=layout containment=],
or if at least one [=fragmentation container=] of a [=fragmentation context=] is a descendant of [=layout containment box=]
<strong>and</strong> at least one subsequent [=fragmentation container=] of the same [=fragmentation context=]
is not a descendant of that same element with layout containment,
then the first [=layout containment box=]
which is either a [=fragmentation container=] itself
or is an ancestor of a [=fragmentation container=]
must “trap” the remainder of the [=fragmented flow=]:
[=fragmentation=] must not continue past the [=layout containment=] boundary,
and the last [=fragmentation container=]
within the first [=layout containment=] boundary
is treated as if it is the last [=fragmentation container=]
in its [=fragmentation context=].
If subsequent [=fragmentation containers=] in the [=fragmentation context=]
are only generated when more content remains in the [=fragmented flow=],
then they are not generated.
If they would exist regardless,
they remain part of the [=fragmentation context=],
but do not receive any content from the [=fragmented flow=].
Note: At the time of writing, no stable specification is affected by this point.
Only specifications that would enable some (but not all) fragmentation containers of a fragmentation context
to be layout-contained (or descendants of a layout contained element)
are concerned.
This is not the case of [[CSS-PAGE-3]] nor of [[CSS-MULTICOL-1]].
This requirement is nonetheless included because
several mechanisms that would make this a possibility have been considered
(e.g.: [[CSS-REGIONS-1]], ''::nth-fragment()'', a hypothetical selector for individual columns of a multicol…),
and the guarantees that layout containment is intended to offer would not be realized
if such mechanisms did not abide by this rule.
[[CSS-REGIONS-1]] has details over how <a>layout containment</a> affects
regions.
<div class=example>
<pre><code highlight=markup>
<article>Lorem ipsum…</article>
<div id=a></div>
<aside>
<div id=b></div>
<div id=c></div>
</aside>
<aside>
<div id=d></div>
<div id=e></div>
</aside>
<div id=f></div>
</code></pre>
<pre><code highlight=css>
article {flow-into: foo;}
#a, #b, #c, #d, #e, #f {flow-from: foo;}
aside {contain: layout}
</code></pre>
In this [[CSS-REGIONS-1]] example,
content can flow from <code>#a</code> to <code>#b</code>,
from <code>#b</code> to <code>#c</code>.
However as <code>#c</code> is the last fragment container in the first [=layout containment box=]
it traps all the remaining content,
and nothing gets flowed into <code>#d</code>, <code>#e</code>, or <code>#f</code>.
</div>
3. If the computed value of the 'overflow' property is
either ''overflow/visible'' or ''overflow/clip'' or a combination thereof,
any overflow must be treated as [=ink overflow=].

contain-layout-ink-overflow-018.html
contain-layout-ink-overflow-019.html
contain-layout-ink-overflow-020.html
</wpt>
4. The [=layout containment box=] establishes an [=absolute positioning containing block=] and a [=fixed positioning containing block=].
<wpt>
contain-layout-006.html
contain-layout-007.html
contain-layout-cell-001.html
contain-layout-cell-002.html
</wpt>
5. The [=layout containment box=] creates a <a>stacking context</a>.
<wpt>
contain-layout-016.html
contain-layout-017.html
contain-layout-018.html
</wpt>
6. [=Forced breaks=] are allowed within [=layout containment boxes=]
but do not propagate to the parent as otherwise described in [[CSS-BREAK-3#break-between]].
<wpt>
contain-layout-breaks-001.html
contain-layout-breaks-002.html
</wpt>
Note: This introduces the previously non-existent possibility that [=forced breaks=]
may occur between a box and its container (See [[CSS-BREAK-3#possible-breaks]]).
7. For the purpose of the 'vertical-align' property,
or any other property whose effects
need to relate the position of the [=layout containment box=]'s baseline
to something other than its descendants,
the [=layout containment box|containment box=] is treated as having no baseline.
<wpt>
contain-layout-baseline-001.html
contain-layout-button-001.html
contain-layout-flexbox-001.html
contain-layout-grid-001.html
contain-layout-baseline-002.html
contain-layout-baseline-003.html
contain-layout-baseline-004.html
contain-layout-baseline-005.html
</wpt>
Possible optimizations that can be enabled by <a>layout containment</a> include (but are not limited to):
1. When laying out the page,
the contents of separate [=layout containment boxes|containment boxes=]
can be laid out in parallel,
as they're guaranteed not to affect each other.
2. When laying out the page,
if the [=layout containment box|containment box=] is off-screen or obscured
and the layout of the visible parts of the screen do not depend on the size of the [=layout containment box|containment box=]
(for example, if the [=layout containment box|containment box=] is near the end of a block container,
and you're viewing the beginning of the block container),
the layout of the [=layout containment box|containment box=]' contents can be delayed or done at a lower priority.
(When paired with <a>size containment</a>,
this optimization can be applied more liberally.)
<h3 id='containment-paint'>
Paint Containment</h3>
If the element does not generate a <a>principal box</a> (as is the case with 'display' values of ''display/contents'' or ''display/none''),
or its [=principal box=] is an <a spec="css-display-3">internal table box</a> other than ''display/table-cell'',
or an <a spec="css-display-3">internal ruby box</a>,
or a <a spec="css-display-3" lt="atomic inline">non-atomic</a> <a spec="css-display-3">inline-level</a> box,
paint containment has no effect.
Otherwise, giving an element <dfn export>paint containment</dfn>
makes its [=principal box=] a <dfn>paint containment box</dfn>
and has the following effects:
<wpt>
contain-paint-002.html
contain-paint-005.html
contain-paint-006.html
contain-paint-007.html
contain-paint-008.html

contain-paint-017.html
contain-paint-018.html
contain-paint-019.html
contain-paint-independent-formatting-context-003.html
</wpt>
1. The contents of the element
including any [=ink overflow|ink=] or [=scrollable overflow=]
must be clipped to the <a>padding edge</a> of the [=paint containment box=],
taking <a>corner clipping</a> into account.
This does not include the creation of any mechanism
to access or indicate the presence of the clipped content;
nor does it inhibit the creation of any such mechanism through other properties,
<span class=informative>such as 'overflow', 'resize', or 'text-overflow'</span>.
Note: The next level of this specification [[CSS-CONTAIN-2]] refines this effect
to apply to the [=overflow clip edge=] rather than the [=padding edge=],
in order to take the new 'overflow-clip-margin' property into account.
For implementations that do not support 'overflow-clip-margin',
the effect is identical.
Note: The behavior is described in this paragraph is equivalent to changing
''overflow-x: visible'' into ''overflow-x: clip''
and
''overflow-y: visible'' into ''overflow-y: clip''
at used value time,
while leaving other values of 'overflow-x' and 'overflow-y' unchanged.
