Looking for confirmation regarding absolute positioning...

Question

Absolutely-positioned elements *never* interrupt the flow,
regardless of
what that element is.
As such, scrollbars completely ignore said elements at *all*
times, as if
they weren't there at all.
Are both those statements considered pretty much factual?

Answer 1

the viewport

Yes - place it to the left of the left margin, or above the
top margin. 8)
