Description

[daniel]

in M11 the right property doesn't work. ex:

#BorderRight {
	position: absolute;
	right: 0;
	top: 0;
	width: 5px;
	height: 100%;
	background: url("border.right") rgb(224,224,224) repeat-y;
	}

I don't see a bug here. If right is given a value of '0', then per CSS2 spec
10.3.7, values are over-constrained. In this case, the right value is ignored
and the equation is solved for that value. This would position the element at
the left edge of its containing block (HTML). I have attached a testcase with
similar style to that described above.

Correct. Another problem is that the containing is empty: setting a width and
height for the body element can help you get what you are looking for.

Closed as invalid.
