Um, no. Width is the difference between two positions, so
independent of coordinate system. x is a position, so depends on the
coordinate system. You are taking an x position from one coordinate
system and applying it in another. The view system is just doing
what you asked it to. Take Dan's advice.

But shouldn't it still work with parent.x+5 anyway?
I mean, parent.width-10 works as expected.

Subject: RE: [Laszlo-user] syntax problem using variables in a
view's x
and y
The second black box isn't positioned correctly relative to its
parent.
That's because it is constrained to its parent's x position. Nested
views have coordinates relative to their parent. So, if you set the
x of
the black view to 5, then it will always be 5 pixels from its parent's
left border.
Do I have the syntax wrong?
<canvas width="600" height="400">
<simplelayout axis="x"/>
<view bgcolor="red" width="100" height="100">
<view bgcolor="black"
width="${parent.width-10}"
height="${parent.height-10}"
x="${parent.x+5}"
y="${parent.y+5}"/>
</view>
<view bgcolor="red" width="100" height="100">
<view bgcolor="black"
width="${parent.width-10}"
height="${parent.height-10}"
x="${parent.x+5}"
y="${parent.y+5}"/>
</view>
</canvas>
