Discussion on: In Swedish, are HTML elements "i" or "på" eachother?

[Jonas Petri]

I’d say it’s both. In how HTML is written, it is with no doubt “i”. But in how it is displayed, I’d argue it is also both. If you have a small green box, and inside the element you put a big red box, it will be “på”. But if you add the overflow: hidden; CSS rule for the green box, the red box will be “i”.

And it's "på" the green box, even if it's still technically "i" the green box?
(Because assuming there's no other styling except for the overflow:hidden; case, the green box would expand to fit the red one, if I remember right.)

[Jonas Petri]

To be clear, I meant something like this:

<div height=“50” width=“50”>
  <div height=“50” width=“50” style=“padding:25px”></div>
</div>

In this case the inner div will arguably be “på” the outer div as long as you don’t add the overflow: hidden; css rule.

Thanks.
This is very useful!
