I have a photo of the most recent post on my page and would like to put a small portion of text onto the top left corner of the picture. I have tried code to do so from other online resources, but none of them have worked. Can someone please check why my code isn’t working or provide an alternate method of putting text on an image?
Here is my HTML + CSS:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
}
nav {
width: 100%;
height: 90px;
background-color: black;
display: flex;
}
nav h1 {
text-align: center;
font-family: arial;
color: white;
font-size: 44px;
line-height: 55px;
float: left;
padding: 15px 20px;
flex: 1 0 auto;
}
nav ul {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
}
nav ul li {
float: left;
list-style: none;
position: relative; /* we can add absolute position in subcategories */
padding-right: 1em;
}
nav ul li a {
display: block;
font-family: arial;
color: white;
font-size: 20px;
padding: 34px 14px;
text-decoration: none;
}
nav ul li ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: black;
padding: 5px; /* Spacing so that hover color does not take up entire chunk */
border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px;
transform: translateX(1rem);
}
nav ul li:hover ul {
/* This means when li is hovered, we want the unordered list inside list item to do something. */
display: block;
}
nav ul li ul li{
width: 130px; /* increases width so that all text can be fit */
border-radius: 4px;
}
nav ul li ul li a:hover {
background-color: #ADD8E6;
a
}
.newest-review-cover img {

Thanks in advance for your help!
For starters, you are targeting your newest-review-title class wrong in your CSS, by using a period between review and title. Change that. Also, try making your container the relative element instead of your image, like so:
.newest-review-cover {
position: relative;
}
.newest-review-cover img {
display: block;
width:100%;
}
.newest-review-title {
position: absolute;
display:block;
z-index: 999;
margin:0 auto;
text-align: center;
top: 50%;
width: 60%;
left:20%
}
This method provides an alternative solution using the CSS background image property. Then you can place your text in the div using the CSS you already had in place. You can adjust the height by adjusting the height of the div. The size of the image can be adjusted using the CSS background-size property.

I'm currently trying to write the css for a sliding side menu, as part of a personal project. Right now, my problem is that the styling for the text menu items in the sidebar (see the aside element below, with class = "nav-sidebar") is not coming through from the css sheet. Below is the HTML...
And the CSS (the styling which isn't coming through is at the bottom):
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
header {
position: sticky;
background: #404040;
height: 85px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
header::before {
content: '';
display: block;
margin: 0px;
height: 5px;
background-color: #8EFA00;
}
.nav-main {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 60px;
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.btn-toggle-nav {
width: 60px;
height: 100%;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
background-color: #8EFA00;
border-radius: 50%;
background-image: url(imgs/menu.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 60%;
background-position: center;
cursor: pointer;
}
.btn-toggle-nav:hover {
opacity: 0.5;
}
.nav-main ul {
text-align: center;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-left: 500px;
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.nav-main ul li {
list-style: none;
line-height: 60px;
}
.nav-main ul li a {
display: block;
height: 100%;
padding: 0 10px;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 16px;
}
.nav-sidebar {
position: fixed;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 50px;

I've included the entirety of both the HTML and CSS documents for the sake of providing some context, but right now I'm only interested in the styling for the items in the ul/li within the "nav-sidebar" class.
I've tried checking it in a different browser (safari - although i'm using it in chrome), and tweaking one or two things in the css doc, but to no avail.
I also wanted to mention that I'm fairly new to HTML and CSS, so it's entirely possible that there are a few other things wrong here as well!
So - ultimately my question is, why is the styling here not coming through for ".nav-sidebar aside ul li span .nav-sidebar aside ul li a"?
Many thanks in advance!
the order you were calling your element, class in was wrong. try notation like this.
<element>.class <child element>
/* or */
<element>#id <child element>
aside.nav-sidebar
aside.nav-sidebar ul
aside.nav-sidebar ul li
aside.nav-sidebar ul li a
You are missing a comma between “span” and “aside”. Should be
aside.nav-sidebar ul li span, aside.nav-sidebar ul li a

I'm basically trying to get the navbar and site logo to show up on top of the 'mainbody'/background div; as of right now both of the other divs are hidden behind the 'mainbody' one.
I've seen some others posts on it but most just suggest to use float: left and clear: both as a solution, which hasn't worked in my case. Others have said it might be a positioning problem.
You need to use z-index. z-index specifies the stack order of the elements. The higher the number, the closer to the front the element will be.
Here's a simplified JSFiddle to show it in action. I took out HTML and CSS not necessary to the example, and changed the colours of the divs in order to see it more clearly.
I added 'z-index' of 0 on #mainbody, and z-index of 10 on #logo and #navbar.
I have to make a website for computer science at school and I have a problem with centering the menu bar. I want it to be centered around the menu button, but it puts the icon off-center the way I do it.
How can I center the entire menu around the central li element?
Here's the code:
body {
background-color: /*#C94421*/
#353535;
margin: 0;
/* reset de standard marges van de body -> geen randen links en rechts naast .menuBar div */
text-align: center;
}
.menuBar {
height: 70px;
width: 100%;
}
.menuBar img {
text-align: center;
}
.menuBar ul li {
display: inline;
padding-right: 65px;
line-height: 70px;
}
.menuBar ul li a {
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
line-height: 70px;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 36px;
width: 100px;
}
.menuBar a:hover {
border-bottom: 1px solid white;
}
.jumbotron .container {
height: 550px;
width: 60%;
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
padding: 10px;
border-top: 4.5px double white;
border-bottom: 4.5px double white;

Here are the changes in the code :
You have to add :
.menuBar ul{
padding-left: 0px;}
also relace this :
.menuBar ul li {
display: inline;
padding-right: 65px;
line-height: 70px;}
with
.menuBar ul li {
display: inline-block;
width: 150px;
padding-right: 15px;
line-height: 70px;}
Also remove width: 100px; from .menuBar ul li a
Better to reduce the font size to get it well aligned in the frame.
I got the image centered using a flexbox layout. The image is always in the exact center of the page, and the menu items flow to the left and right of the centered image.
I adjusted the font sizes and padding so that it shows up well in the demo. I also needed to change the li to div to get the menu to work semantically after the changes.
Live Demo:
body {
background-color: /*#C94421*/ #353535;
margin: 0; /* reset de standard marges van de body -> geen randen links en rechts naast .menuBar div */
text-align: center;
}
.menuBar {
height: 70px;
width: 100%;
}
.menuBar img {
text-align: center;
}
.menuBar {
display: flex;
}
.menuBar > div {
display: block;
line-height: 70px;
flex-basis: 0;
flex-grow: 1;
}
.left {
text-align: right;

JSFiddle Version: https://jsfiddle.net/2ejfdoc3/1/
I'm just getting back into Web Development and so I'm working on stretching those muscles again. What I wanted to achieve was a Header on top of my vertical menu with the Initials in the background and the full name in the middle of those initials. I was able to do that with the code in codepen, however it quickly becomes broken when resizing the window. I know that is due in part to the position absolute. Is there another way to achieve this effect and have it be scalable, but stay within the lines of the nav?

Giving absolute Position to a child that does not have relative parent , will set it's position relating to BODY .
add position:relative; to nav in css , and everything will be OK ;)

I have two links that are a part of my navigation bar that have drop downs. What I would like is a background image for each drop down;an image for fairies, a different image for craniums. I'm pretty close, I think, but I'm unsure as to how to set this up. After reading several posts, the post from Ryan Rahif on May 19 at 18:58 is pretty darned close to what I want. Do I need to create another hover div? Do I need to create a hover for each drop down?
thank u
