Old Issues

The following are known problems in the 16 February 2005 CSS Backgrounds and Borders Level 3 Working Draft.

Issue 1

Dup of issue 6

Issue 2

URL
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006Jul/0017.html
Summary
Need border-image clarifications
Proposal
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Jun/0096.html
Resolution
Proposal accepted
Status
Closed.

Issue 3

URL
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Jun/0073.html
Summary
Middle image doesn't scale to match border images
Resolution
Proposal accepted with s/top/left s/width/height and s/bottom/right in the second modification
Status
Closed.

Issue 4

URL
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Jun/0208.html
Summary
Shorthand for border-radius unnecessarily restrictive.
Resolution
the border-radius shorthand shall take up to four values that each set both radii for the corresponding corner as in Mozilla's implementation. The first value applies to the top-left corner, and rest are assigned clockwise. Missing values are filled in as for margin et al. Adopt Anne's proposal for extended syntax that allows setting elliptical curves.
Status
Closed.

Issue 5

URL
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006Jul/0017.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Aug/0217.html
Summary
No defined behavior for overlapping radii.
Proposal
Reduce both radii of affected corners in proportion, thereby preserving the shape of the curves. Still need proposal on how various corners interact.
Resolution
Result should not create pointy intersections. Details unresolved.
Status
Needs precise mathematical proposal.

Issue 6

URL
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Sep/0092.html
Summary
Define point of color (and style?) transitions.
Proposal
The center of color and style transitions are at an angle that is proportional to the ratio of the border widths. E.g. if the two widths are equal, the angle is 45deg, and if one is twice the width of the other the angle is 30deg. The line demarcating this transition is drawn between the point at that angle on the outer curve and the point at that angel on the inner curve.
Resolution
Proposal accepted
Status
Closed.

Issue 7

URL

Summary
Define inner border curve.
Proposal
The inner border radius is the outer border radius minus the border thickness. In the case where this results in a negative value, the inner radius is zero. (In such cases its center might not coincide with that of the outer border curve.)
Resolution
Proposal accepted.
Status
Closed.

Summary
Refine background shorthand syntax
Proposal
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006May/0018.html
Resolution
Use the / before <background-size>, require <background-position> to occur before <background-size>.
Status
Closed.
