<title>CSS Writing Modes Test: position absolute and 'vertical-rl' - 'left' and 'right' are 'auto', 'width' is not 'auto' with 'direction: ltr' in initial containing block</title>

<meta content="This test checks that when the initial containing block's writing-mode is 'horizontal-tb' and its 'direction' is 'ltr', then an absolutely positioned box (with 'left' and 'right' are 'auto', 'width' is not 'auto') whose containing block is the initial containing block and whose direction is 'ltr' must set left to static position and then solve for 'right'. Whether such absolutely positioned box's 'writing-mode' is vertical or not is irrelevant." name="assert" />

2. 'left' and 'right' are 'auto' and 'width' is not 'auto', then if the 'direction' property of the element establishing the static-position containing block is 'ltr' set 'left' to the static position (...) Then solve for (...) 'right' (if 'direction' is 'ltr').

10.3.7 Absolutely positioned, non-replaced elements
So:
auto : left
+
0px : margin-left
+
35px : border-left-width
+
0px : padding-left
+
50px : width
+
0px : padding-right
+
15px : border-right-width
+
0px : margin-right
+
auto : right
====================
: width of containing block (width of Initial Containing Block)
becomes
8px : left (set to static position)
+
0px : margin-left
+
35px : border-left-width
+
0px : padding-left
+
50px : width
+
0px : padding-right
+
15px : border-right-width
+
0px : margin-right
+
solve : right
====================
: width of containing block (width of Initial Containing Block)
