I'm trying to right align a div on my navigation bar for my website. The goal is to align the div so it's always aligned in the same place towards the right of the webpage. I've tried margins, CSS positioning, and changing the div to display: inline-block;
body {
overflow-x: hidden;
font-size: large;
margin: 0;
}
h1,
h2,
h3,
h4 {
font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;

You can use float: right;.
You can also find other solutions here How do I right align div elements?
You could use position absolute to remove the element from the DOM and move your element anywhere relative to the first containing parent element up the DOM tree that has a position set. Then use positioning props like top, right, bottom and/or left to move the element on the page.
See MDN on position for more info
:root {
--padding: .5em;
}
/* This is the parent element, set its position to relative
so the right-div will be positioneed relative to it */
#parent {
background: red;
padding: .5em;
position: relative;
}
#first-div {
background: yellow;
padding: var(--padding);
}
p {
padding: var(--padding);
background: white;
}
/* set this divs position to absolute so its top, left, bottom, right
positioning props will be relative to its closest parent set to relative */
#right-div {
position: absolute;
right: calc(var(--padding) + 0px);
top: calc(var(--padding) + 0px);
background: green;
color: white;
padding: var(--padding);
<div id="parent">
<div id="first-div">This is the first div</div>
<p>This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a
paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph</p>
<div id="right-div">This is the right div</div>
</div>
I ended up setting the position to absolute and using vw as the property for the left attribute.
.hamburger-menu {
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
position: absolute;
left: 80vw;
margin-right: 5vw;
}

I am having a problem with the hero image, it always hides my dropdown menu even though I put a higher z-index on the menu. I have found a "solution" for this, I gave the hero image z-index:-1, but now my button on the hero image doesn't work. I want to have this work without any workarounds.
jsfiddle here (here the dropdown works, because #hero-img has z-index:-1, but the top button doesn't work)
https://jsfiddle.net/xLo7wcph/1/
1) please help me find a reason why the z-index > 0 doesn't work + solution for this, without using z-index:0;
2) bonus question, why the button doesn't work when I set the hero img on negative z-index even though I have btn z-index : 1;

}
Removing z-index: -1; from the #hero-img and adding these lines solves your problem.
#navbar{
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
Initially what was happening is, position: relative on #hero-img was hiding your dropdown. because position-wise #hero-img was upper than #navbar. that's why you should also add z-index in the #navbar.
And you gave negative z-index value to appear the dropdown. when you give negative z-index to an element it will be rendered under other elements.
In this case, the #hero-img was under the body. the button won't show up when you give high z-index value because it's parent #hero-img is under the top layer.

I'm trying to achieve the following effect, but I have some trouble positioning the text and making the underline go to end of the screen.
.header {
height: 550px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #1F2041;
position: relative;
}
.header h1, .header h2{
color: white;
font-size: 52px;
text-transform: uppercase;
margin-bottom: 20px;
border-bottom: 1.5px solid currentColor;
line-height: 0.7;
position: absolute;
top: 210px;
}
.header p {
margin-top: 40px;
color: white;
}
<div class="header">
<h2>About</h2>
<h2>Nikola</h2>
<p>Simple. Modern. Yours.</p>
</div>
This is what I'm trying to achieve
Try something like this, using float and clear. Adjust the size of the 400px as you prefer. Perhaps this way (float) is not the best way and using solely margins may be preferred, but try to avoid using position: absolute or elements can overlap quickly.
.header {
height: 550px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #1F2041;
text-align: right;
}
.header * {
float: right;
clear: right;
width: 400px;
text-align: left;
color: white;
margin: 0 0 20px;
}
.header h1, .header h2{
color: white;
font-size: 52px;
text-transform: uppercase;
border-bottom: 1.5px solid currentColor;
}
<div class="header">
<h2>About</h2>
<h2>Nikola</h2>
<p>Simple. Modern. Yours.</p>
</div>
Maybe you need something like that?
With an absolute div you can change his position inside the parent relative div.
You set a static height, so approximately with a 150px top and bottom as margin you got what you need
Remember that when use position:absolute; it is relative to the parent div with a position:relative
.header {
height: 550px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #1F2041;
position: relative;
}
.content-div{
position:absolute;
margin: 150px 0 150px auto;
width: 250px;
right: 0;
}
.header h1, .header h2{
color: white;
font-size: 52px;
text-transform: uppercase;
margin-bottom: 20px;
border-bottom: 1.5px solid currentColor;
line-height: 0.7;
}
.header p {
margin-top: 40px;
color: white;
}
<div class="header">
<div class="content-div">
<h2>About</h2>
<h2>Nikola</h2>
<p>Simple. Modern. Yours.</p>
</div>

Closed 3 years ago.
im trying to turn a design into code with html and css, but im stumped at a part in the hero section. What's the best way to position this logo with the border that stops around it.
attached is an image of the design i am trying to re-create
you can use before and after classes as
::before and ::after then add border and position it on the top of the corner left and right.

check its working properly
This is what I would do:
Wrapper element (.box-border) with two children: .box-border__top & .box-border__img
Put a border on .box-border but no top border
For the top border, use .box-border__top consisting of three elements:
.box-border__top:before: a line
.box-border__img: the logo, aligned in the center
.box-border__top:after: a line
To add spacing around the image, use .box-border__content with padding: 5em
body {
background: url(https://www.goodfreephotos.com/albums/vector-images/farm-landscape-illustration-vector-graphics.png);
background-size: cover;
}
.box-border { /* All side borders by the top */
border: .5em solid brown;
border-top: 0;
text-align: center;
}
.box-border__top { /* Align the image & borders */
display: flex;
}
.box-border__top:before,
.box-border__top:after {
content: '';
display: block;

border-top: .5em solid brown; /* Sections of the top image */
}
.box-border__img { /* Center Image */

EDITED JSFIDDLE
The goal to display a transition upward height when the button is hovered, but this line of CSS .btn-position:hover ~ .bg-transit { height: 430px !important;} seems it expands downwards instead upward. Is there a way to transition UPWARD?
I dont want to add any JS to it.

.position-btn:hover ~ .position-box-info selects all siblings .position-box-info that come after a .position-btn:hover. Since .position-box-info is actually the parent of the .position-btn element, nothing gets selected. In fact, you can't select a parent from a child, so you either have to add a class with javascript or change your HTML.
Also, you seem to miss a </div> closing tag.
I'm trying to create the image in the link with only html and css. There are a number of elements that would need to "stack" on top of one another.
I am having a difficult time understanding inheritance, nesting, etc. Here's the code I've written so far:
.heart {
position: relative;
margin-top: 20px;
background-color: #000000;
opacity: .8;
width: 65px;
height: 30px;
border-radius: 15px;
display: inline;
}
.box {
margin: 75px auto;
position: relative;
height: 490px;
width: 700px;
background-color: #18a0ff;
box-shadow: 1px 15px 50px 2px;
display: flex;
}
.thumbnail_image {
position: absolute;
float: left;
display: inline-block;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
.text_container {
top: 60px;
left: 200px;
right: 100px;
width: 400px;
height: 338px;
position: relative;
display: flex;
}
h1 {
font-color: #ffffff !important;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 60px;
font-family: Montserrat;
font-weight: 700;
line-height: 1.1;
text-align: left;
}
<div class="box">
<div class="heart">
</div>
<div class="thumbnail_image">
<img src="http://res.cloudinary.com/dp32vpqfu/image/upload/v1457298445/Sheldon_Pic_l3cprk.jpg">
</div>
<div class="text_container">
<h1>Don't You think that if I were wrong, I'd know it?</h1>
</div>
</div>
My concern is how to properly place the heart dialog, the text container, and the image overlay. I seem to be misunderstanding proper inheritance syntax or structure.
Use position:absolute; on heart dialog, text container, and image overlay elements and then position them correctly with the left and right properties.
Absolute positioning and z-index are the key words involved in stacking images with HTML and CSS.
I went ahead and mocked up your image with some html/css to give you an idea of implementation.
Z-index is not relevant in this particular example since you only require one layer above the base, which is automatically given to you with absolute positioning, however if you had multiple layers you would need to set the z-index to a number value where lower numbered z-indexes appear at the bottom and higher z-indexes appear at the top.
Here's my code, hope it helps:
body {
background-color: grey;
}
.container {
position:fixed;
height: 500px;
width: 700px;
background-image: url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/MS8X8.png);
background-position: 46% 52%;
background-size: 150%
}
.hearts {
position: absolute;
background-color: rgba(149, 165, 166,.5);
color: white;
right: 40px;
top: 15px;
padding: 15px 25px 15px 25px;
border-radius: 15px
}
.blue {
width: 550px;
height: 500px;
background-color: rgb(102,173,255);
float: right;
}
h1, h5 {
position: absolute;
font-family: sans-serif;
color: white;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
#quote {
left: 200px;
top: 30px;
font-size: 60px;
}
#attr {
left: 200px;
top: 450px;
}

Understanding the stacking order
In your case, the natural stacking order will do the job; this is nicely explained over on the MDN. The main thing to understand is that elements will overlap those that come before them in the markup. This is better explained with a simple example:
div {
position: absolute;
background: red;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.two {
background: blue;
top: 10px;
left: 20px;
}
.three {
background: green;
top: 20px;
left: 40px;
}
<div class="one">1</div>
<div class="two">2</div>
<div class="three">3</div>
With that out of the way...
Let's make these!
Feel free to jump to the complete example at the end of this answer!
Want to use some pedantic semantics?
A <blockquote> element to wrap everything together in a semantic container.
A <nav> element to contain the back and forward navigation
A <cite> element that contains the name of the person quoted
Our markup now looks like this:
<blockquote>
<p>Don't You think that if I were wrong, I'd know it?</p>
<cite>Sheldon Cooper</cite>
<a href="#" class="love-counter">
<3 123
</a>
<nav>
Previous
Next
</nav>
</blockquote>
The CSS
Main background image and color
These can be placed as a background on the blockquote itself. You can use background-size to ensure that the image always has the same dimensions. (It will obviously distort images which have an incorrect size)
blockquote {
background: #18a0ff url(image-url) no-repeat;
background-size: 170px 490px;
}
Add the transparent grey background and quotation character
This can be added with a absolutely positioned before pseudo-element of blockquote. The element is stretched out with left / right / bottom along with a width that matches the image. The transparent grey overlay and transparent text is provided by rgba color.
blockquote:before {
content: '\201C';
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
padding-top: 30px;
font-size: 2.4em;
text-align: center;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
width: 170px;
color: rgba(255,255,255,0.3);
}
Align the main quote text along with its citation
In order to incorporate smaller quotes, it could be more visually pleasing to vertically center the main text. We can use the display: flex property along with justify-content to easily achieve this; the flex-direction: column property stacks the main quote over the top of the citation. The blockquote is also given left and right padding to appropriately position it horizontally.
blockquote {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
flex-direction: column;
padding: 0 140px 0 200px;
}
Position the back / forward navigation and love counter
These are easily located with position: absolute along with the appropriate left / right / bottom / top properties. They will look something like this:
.love-counter {
position: absolute;
right: 20px;
top: 20px;
}
nav {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
bottom: 20px;
}

You might consider a javascript method to shrink the font size for larger quotes.
