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 : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Sep/0092.html

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.

Issue 8

URL : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006May/0017.html

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006May/0121.html

Summary : Refine background shorthand syntax

Proposal : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006May/0018.html

Resolution : Use the / before , require to occur before .

Status : Closed.

Issue 9

URL :

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006May/0120.html

Summary : Combine ‘background-clip’ and ‘background-origin’?

Proposal : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006May/0120.html

Resolution : No change.

Status : Closed.

Issue 10

URL : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006May/0037.html

Summary : Should negative background-size flip the image?

Resolved : No change.

Status : Closed.

Issue 11

URL : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Nov/0091.html

Summary : Background-position should calculate after background-size is applied

Resolution : Already fixed. :)

Status : Closed.

Issue 12

URL : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Nov/0105.html

Summary : Background-position should allow positioning from corners other than top left

Status : Closed.

Issue 13

URL : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Dec/0011.html

Summary : Background-position should have a figure for percentage positioning

Resolution : Accepted.

Status : Closed.

Issue 14

URL : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Jan/0356.html

Summary : ‘background-size’ needs a better name

Proposal : ‘background-fit’

Resolution : No change.
