Inset property vs top/right/bottom/left
Hey all! Curious about something..
I'm using "inset: calc(some stuff);" and then declaring "left: initial;" because I want to set top, right and bottom to a certain value but leave left unchanged while using position: fixed. Basically a cart drawer with a bit of margin on the sides.
If I use "inset: calc(some stuff) calc(some stuff) calc(some stuff) initial" it doesn't work. Wondering why that is? I always thought shorthands were literaly just a quicker way to write the same exact thing bit it seems to behave differently than using individual properties by themselves.
BTW I've tried this with Arc and Chrome.

A friendly place for developers to meet other devs, ask questions, get help, and just have a good time 🙂.
