Sorta like: I'm a member of php-x and love it. The people are very helpful and knowledgeable and the side conversations are hilarious. I'm sure the OP could have googled for such comprehensive lists, and gotten a few hits, but who wants to just join a random mailing list? Hence the OP's question. There lies the problem...!CSS=OT My point is this: I'm sure css-x, www-y, etc. have their own wiki's with recommended scripting lists where their own members post. Compile all these lists, and you, in theory have all the mailing lists possible, but how do you know which are better suited for you? But the second we start asking/saying stuff like I put in quotes above, the conversation becomes OT and frowned upon, as explicitly states in the OT rules, no *Server-side scripting (eg.

My answer: If you don't mind the wait, http://browsershots.org/ will give you some options and be able to actually see how it renders. My 2 cents... I am with you Lisa, I like to see how things look at different resolutions and such. Not saying the previous information was wrong at all, but some of us just aren't as versed in CSS, and don't know that we made a mistake/error just by looking at it. What was previously posted is correct, and *should* work, but I am a visual person. Ronald Reagan said Trust, but verify..

It doesn't matter which comes first because are no overlapping values in
the horizontal and vertical options. If the CSS interpreter sees 'center' in
the first, it will go to the second one. If the second one is
{top,center,bottom}, then aforementioned 'center' is the v-position. If the
second keyword is {left,center,right}, then the aforementioned 'center' is

What they were discussing was to apply some arbitrary order, just for

sees no reason not to, plus it makes sense.
Answer: Order is not important and there is no set standard, so it really
is just a matter of preference.

In this form, you can choose one keyword from each list of three,

one of the two (all that is what the '||' between the lines means).
So you can validly say '5% top', but not 'top 5%'. For that
matter, you can say '0 top' but not 'top 0', even though the
functionally equivalent 'top left' is perfectly fine.
Bonus fun fact: as with an omitted vertical value in the first
value form discussed, if you only use one keyword in the second form,
the missing one is assumed to be 'center'. So 'top' is equivalent to
'top center' (and 'center top'), and 'left' is equivalent to 'left
center' (and 'center left').
I was in the process of writing-up some inline CSS comments for my
latest project, and I wanted to clarify/confirm a couple things about
background positioning:
1. TRUE or FALSE:
If you use a keyword for the horizontal value, and omit the vertical,
the default vertical value is assumed to be center.
-- Note: The specs say 0% 0% is the initial value.
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/CR-CSS21-20070719/colors.html#propdef-background-position
2. TRUE or FALSE:
For background positioning, the horizontal position must come first if
one of the values is not a keyword.
3. TRUE or FALSE:
If both values are keywords, the horizontal value *must* come first. Or
is this just a matter preference and/or good coding practice?
Sorry to resurrect an old thread... I just wanted to make sure my

What they were discussing was to apply some arbitrary order, just for
giggles, so everyone was on the same page. Rafael decided to use the
classic Cartestian plane (x,y) system as an order, which I believe everyone
sees no reason not to, plus it makes sense.
Answer: Order is not important and there is no set standard, so it really is
just a matter of preference.

Hi Eric and all,
Eric A. Meyer wrote:
In this form, you can choose one keyword from each list of three,
plus you can put the two words in any order AND you only have to pick
one of the two (all that is what the '||' between the lines means).
So you can validly say '5% top', but not 'top 5%'. For that
matter, you can say '0 top' but not 'top 0', even though the
functionally equivalent 'top left' is perfectly fine.
Bonus fun fact: as with an omitted vertical value in the first
value form discussed, if you only use one keyword in the second form,
the missing one is assumed to be 'center'. So 'top' is equivalent to
'top center' (and 'center top'), and 'left' is equivalent to 'left
center' (and 'center left').
I was in the process of writing-up some inline CSS comments for my
latest project, and I wanted to clarify/confirm a couple things about
background positioning:
1. TRUE or FALSE:
If you use a keyword for the horizontal value, and omit the vertical,
the default vertical value is assumed to be center.
-- Note: The specs say 0% 0% is the initial value.
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/CR-CSS21-20070719/colors.html#propdef-background-position
2. TRUE or FALSE:
For background positioning, the horizontal position must come first if
one of the values is not a keyword.
3. TRUE or FALSE:
If both values are keywords, the horizontal value *must* come first. Or
is this just a matter preference and/or good coding practice?
Sorry to resurrect an old thread... I just wanted to make sure my
paraphrased comments are concise and correct.
Many TIA!
Cheers,
Micky
