<meta name="assert" content="The 'auto' values on 'margin-top', 'margin-bottom' are set to '0' and the 'height' is the remaining space between the 'top' and 'bottom' positions, when 'height' is 'auto' and 'top' and 'bottom' are both not 'auto'." />
<style type="text/css">
#div1
{
border: solid black;
height: 3in;
position: relative;
width: 3in;
}
div div
{
background: blue;
bottom: 1in;
height: auto;
margin-bottom: auto;
margin-top: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 1in;
width: 100%;
}
/*
1in : top
+
auto (to solve): margin-top
+
0 : border-top-width
+
0 : padding-top
+
auto (to solve) : height
+
0 : padding-bottom
+
0 : border-bottom-width
+
auto (to solve): margin-bottom
+
1in : bottom
=============
3in : height of containing block
"
'height' is 'auto', 'top' and 'bottom' are not 'auto',
then 'auto' values for 'margin-top' and 'margin-bottom' are set to 0
and solve for 'height'
"
so this brings:
1in : top
+
0 (set): margin-top
+
0 : border-top-width
+
0 : padding-top
+
auto (to solve) : height
+
0 : padding-bottom
+
0 : border-bottom-width
+
0 (set): margin-bottom
+
1in : bottom
=============
3in : height of containing block
So, height must use 1in in order to balance the equation
