Yes, of course. You can do it in Gecko and Webkit.
But not in standard webpages or xul files?
Er, what does that have to do with anything?
I'll have to look into webkit. I'm not familiar with it.
It's the layout engine in Safari and Google Chrome.
Whoa. Nasty. This means there is no certain, analytical solution to
the constraints. I'm actually surprised that this made into the
standards.
I'm not. This is just life if you want to do constraint-based layout
and allow random people who don't know what they're doing to set the
constraints. Not a standards problem.
In the meantime, I tried to write down a simplified version of the
algorithm to a) handle the width of an hbox (and by analogy a vbox)
and b) allow for percentages. Could you tell me what do you think
about it?
No idea; I've never looked into the flexbox stuff in much detail....
