Sadly

position: top;

is not valid css. It should say

position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;

Still funny though.

Ah, the author fixed it. Good job.

You design people and your pedantry. > /dev/null for you.

Came to say the same. I've never taken it so literally.

Why is .tree's position relative?

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Needed for the .leaves’ absolute positioning to be relative to the tree, and not relative to the universe.

Damn, I thought you were going to take me out to dinner first

It's so the position: absolute for .leaves works relative to .tree. The implication is that .leaves is a descendant of .tree.

position: absolute looks for the nearest ancestor with a set position in order to determine its own positioning context. Otherwise the absolute positioning would basically be relative to the viewport. If the position: relative was missing, the leaves would be against the bottom edge of the image.

edit: I mean .leaves, not .branch

Saw this post about "CSS Gardening," and I'm reminded of debugging my first responsive website. Did anyone else spend hours wrestling with margins and padding, only to realize it was a typo in the media query? I did! Now I meticulously check my syntax.
