Today, I discovered an interesting little thing while refactoring the 3-second hint prompt box style in the UI control. I will post an article to record it so that I can look at it later

1 Preparation knowledge

①A block element with set width and height will maintain its original width and height after setting position:absolute

②A restrained element set to position:absolute will automatically be converted into a block element

Then I ask three questions:

Problem01: A block element with no set width and height position:absolute,top:0;left:0, how to display its width and height?

problem02: An inline element is positioned: absolute, top: 0; left: 0. How to display its width and height?

problem03: What interesting things happened to an element with position:absolute,left:50%?

2 Answers to problem01: A block element with no width and height set: position:absolute,top:0;left:0, how to display its width and height?

First set position:absolute,top:0;left:0

for the object

The test code is as follows:

The effect is as follows:

It can be concluded that after the inline element position: absolute, top: 0; left: 0, the effect is the same as that of the block element without width and height, that is, the default width is the width of the screen.

Let’s extend a test to see if the inline element is really converted into a block element after position: absolute, top: 0; left: 0. The simplest test is to set the floating inline element Width and height to see if it works. The test code is as follows:

The effect is as follows:

Conclusion: The inline element will be converted into a block element after position:absolute,top:0;left:0, and the height and width are the width and height set by the programmer

Four Answers to problem03: What interesting things happen to an element with position:absolute,left:50%?

I have never noticed this effect before. If you are not aware of the existence of this effect, it is very likely that style duplication or other minor problems will occur

Note that I set top to 0 for the convenience of research. Let’s look at the test code:

The effect is as follows:

This effect is easy to accept, but please note that the width of div2 at this time has been forcibly set to the parent width (300px/2). Use the audit element that comes with chrome to view

The above picture does not prove it. Some people may guess that the screen width limits its width. The easiest way to test this idea is to move it to the left by enough space after position:absolute,left:50%. , display its full width, I use transform here: translateX(-50%); to shift it

The effect is as follows:

Inspect element discovery using Chrome:

We can see that this div with no width set automatically sets its own width to half of the parent width (300px) at position:absolute,left:50%.

When I set the parent width to 400px and tested the above code again, the results are as follows:

The conclusion drawn is consistent. A div with no width set at position:absolute,left:50% automatically sets its own width to half of the parent width (400px).

Haha, you must pay attention to this effect, otherwise there will be many unexplainable effects when mixed with other styles.

Let’s expand on this. When a div with width is set to position:absolute,left:50%, how will its width be displayed? Don’t be confused, it will be displayed normally

The test code is as follows: (Set parent width 400px, child width 300px)
