Having trouble positioning text inside a box - html

Question

I am having an issue with positioning text inside a div. I want the image on the right top corner (which I was able to do) and the text kind of center the bottom text in the box.
This is an example of what I want to do: http://jsfiddle.net/Lucky500/Nq769/
I created a div .bottom_box and added:
.bottom_box {
position: relative;
bottom: -50px;
left: 50px;
}
Is there an easier or more correct way to do this?

Answer 1

Alright -
Added text-align:center to your and elements.
Set your outer_box position to relative.
Set the img value to absolute and positioned with 0.25 em top and right instead of margin.
http://jsfiddle.net/mr_mayers/Nq769/2/
.outer_box {
border: solid #6ac5ac 3px;
display: inline-block;
width: 250px;
height: 200px;
margin: .5em;
Position: relative;
}
.bottom_box {
position: relative;
bottom: -50px;
}
p {
color: blue;
text-align: center;
}
img {
position: absolute;
padding: 3px;
top: 0.25em;
right: 0.25em;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
color: red;
}

Answer 2

You can achieve your layout as follows:
For this HTML:
<div class="outer_box">
<img src="http://placehold.it/100x50">
<div class="bottom_box">
<h1>$25 OFF</h1>
<p>$25 off your first cleaning!</p>
</div>
</div>
Try the following CSS:
.outer_box {
border: solid #6ac5ac 3px;
display: inline-block;
width: 250px;
height: 200px;
margin: 0.5em;
}
.bottom_box {
clear: both;
border: 1px dotted gray; /* for demo only, optional */
}
img {
float: right;
padding: 3px;
margin: 0 0 1em 1em;
}
p {
color: blue;
margin-left: 50px;
}
h1 {
color: red;
margin-left: 50px;
}
Since your image is floated, simply clear the .bottom-box.
Use margin-left on the child elements to get any white space.

You can use text-align: center if you are centering the p and h1 content, but I was not sure if you wanted ragged left or ragged right alignment on the text block;

Answer 3

You'd be better off using text-align:center and position: absolute
See example

Answer 4

There are some solutions.
An other way is to make the box relative and positioning the text and image inside absolute.

Answer 5

I would create a container div with a border for your box, then set the inner divs (one with your image and one with your text) to position absolute. then you can use top:0; right:0; for the picture on the right corner. then bottom:xx; and left:yy; for positioning the text div.
This is just a different method than you used. If it works, doesn't break in any situation, and is simple, then it's correct. Many ways to skin a cat in programming.
