<style type="text/css">
#div1
{
border: solid black;
height: 3in;
position: relative;
width: 3in;
}
div div
{
background: blue;
bottom: 1in;

/*
auto (to solve) : top

auto (to solve): margin-top
+
0 : border-top-width
+
0 : padding-top
+
2in : height (will be constrained to use 1in by max-height)
+
0 : padding-bottom
+
0 : border-bottom-width
+
auto (to solve): margin-bottom
+
1in : bottom
=============
3in : height of containing block
"
'top' is 'auto', 'height' and 'bottom' are not 'auto',
then set 'auto' values for 'margin-top' and 'margin-bottom' to 0,
and solve for 'top'
"
so this brings:
auto (to solve) : top
+
0 (set): margin-top
+
0 : border-top-width
+
0 : padding-top
+
1in (constrained) : height
+
0 : padding-bottom
+
0 : border-bottom-width
+
0 (set): margin-bottom
+
1in : bottom
=============
3in : height of containing block
So, top must use 1in in order to balance the equation
