           Summary: percentage height on html and body elements not
                    calculated if child is position:relative
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://xhva.net/index.html
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: xhva.net at gmail.com


Percentage heights on the html and body elements calculate correctly as
demonstrated on PPK's old demo page:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/css2tests/height/heightdocbodyhtml.html

However, when a child is given position:relative, both percentages seem to be
ignored.

I'm using relative positioning and negative margins to achieve vertical
centering at the provided URL.

Tested on build 522.13.1 -- reduced testcase to follow.

I also tried min-height on html and body as a workaround to at least show the
entire div at the top of the viewport, but min-height has no effect unless a
pixel value is supplied for height. Should I file a separate bug for that?
