Links and additional information
I retested the CSS properties discussed just before writing the first draft of this chapter. Eventually these tests will be superseded by new ones. Only overflow: auto is missing from that page; you can find it here.
position: fixed videos can be found in the following blog posts:
- December 2013; correct implementation by Chrome, almost-correct implementation by Android WebKit 4, weird implementation by Safari.
- December 2011; Opera’s “hopping” implementation, again Android WebKit 4, and BlackBerry’s earlier and not-quite-perfect implementation.
