title: default rendering of elements within an absolutely positioned box?
body: <p>I have set <code>&lt;body&gt;</code> to be absolutely positioned so that it takes up the entire viewport without having to specify a height:</p>
  
  <pre><code>body {
      width: 100%;
  
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
  
      position: absolute;
      top:0; right:0; bottom:0; left:0;
  
      min-height: 500px;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to know whether the elements that I layout within the body will have any "layout" (IE speak) attached to them or will they flow normally as if the body wasn't positioned absolutely?</p>
