When a child becomes floated or out-of-flow it should check if its previous sibling is an anonymous block - if so, it should move in under the anonymous block.

[Robert Hogan]

I definitely need advice on how to go about doing this - anonymous blocks are too complicated for trial and error.

If the render tree is like this:

      RenderBlock (anonymous) at (0,73) size 320x19
        RenderInline {SPAN} at (0,0) size 40x19
          RenderInline {SPAN} at (0,0) size 40x19 [bgcolor=#FF0000]
      RenderBlock (anonymous) at (0,92) size 320x40
        RenderBlock {DIV} at (0,0) size 160x40 [bgcolor=#008000]
          RenderText {#text} at (0,10) size 4x19
            text run at (0,10) width 4: " "
      RenderBlock (anonymous) at (0,132) size 320x0
        RenderInline {SPAN} at (0,0) size 0x0
      RenderBlock (anonymous) at (0,132) size 320x0
        RenderBlock {DIV} at (0,0) size 320x0
      RenderBlock (anonymous) at (0,132) size 320x0
        RenderInline {SPAN} at (0,0) size 0x0
          RenderInline {SPAN} at (0,0) size 0x0
            RenderText {#text} at (0,0) size 0x0
            RenderText {#text} at (0,0) size 0x0

and the first div becomes a float, I need to change it to this:

      RenderBlock (anonymous) at (0,73) size 320x19
        RenderInline {SPAN} at (0,0) size 40x19
          RenderInline {SPAN} at (0,0) size 40x19 [bgcolor=#FF0000]
          RenderBlock {DIV} (floating) at (0,0) size 160x40 [bgcolor=#008000]
            RenderText {#text} at (0,10) size 4x19
              text run at (0,10) width 4: " "
      RenderBlock (anonymous) at (0,132) size 320x0
        RenderBlock {DIV} at (0,0) size 320x0
      RenderBlock (anonymous) at (0,132) size 320x0
        RenderInline {SPAN} at (0,0) size 0x0
          RenderInline {SPAN} at (0,0) size 0x0
            RenderText {#text} at (0,0) size 0x0
            RenderText {#text} at (0,0) size 0x0

Can I just use moveChildTo() to move the float into the preceding anonymous block and destroy its old anonymous block parent? Or will I then need to rewrite the continuation map to link the RenderInline parent to the anonymous block containing the remaining block-flow DIV?

Just wanted to share updated test results. As mentioned, Safari is matching Chrome but differs from Firefox slightly in showing "red".

This looks to be working now.
