/*
=====================================
top: inherit should resolve as top: 25% because
"the property takes the same computed value as the
property for the element's parent"
CSS 2.1, section 6.2.1 The 'inherit' value
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#value-def-inherit
and
"Computed value: (...) if specified as a percentage, [then]
the specified [percentage] value"
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#position-props
So, the top offset of #green-child-abs-pos-inherit-overlapping
should be 25%, which is 25% of the height of its containing
block (#parent-abs-pos) which is 0px.
=====================================
