Calc of max, or max of calc in CSS

Question

Is it possible to do something like this

max-width: calc(max(500px, 100% - 80px))

or

max-width: max(500px, calc(100% - 80px         


        

Answer 1

No you cannot. max() and min() have been dropped from CSS3 Values and Units. They may be re-introduced in CSS4 Values and Units however. There is currently no spec for them, and the calc() spec does not mention that either are valid inside a calc() function.
