I know that similar questions have been asked before but I've tried all the solutions I could find (which involve position:relative on the outer div and position: absolute on the inner divs) but I can't for the life of me get the red div to align underneath the green one rather than stacking on top of it.
HTML:
<body>
<div id="outer_div">
<div id="title_div">
</div>
<div id="main_div">
</div>
</div>
</body/>
CSS:
body {
height: 1000px;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#outer_div {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: blue;
display: block;
}
#title_div {
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
height: 25%;
width: 100%;
background-color: green;
display: block;
}
#main_div {
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
height: 20%;
width: 100%;
background-color: red;
display: block;
}
Here's the jsFiddle link.
Thanks!
To get the red div to display beneath the green div, do the following
Remove "position: absolute;" from #main_div and #title_div
Add "float: left;" to #main_div and #title_div
This will cause each div to pull itself as far left as possible. If it won't fit both of them side by side, the second one automatically is pushed below the first.
You have the same absolute top position for both the inner divs. There are many ways to change this including allows natural ordering of divs, changing the top position etc.

I have a parent div that contains two children, side by side. The first child is an image that must be height 100% and 58% width, margin auto and overflow hidden. The second child contains text, and the length of the text determines the height of the parent. This is a template for several pages, with different length of text, and therefore different parent height. Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do without using JS? Thanks for your input! Code below.
HTML:
<div id="product-summary">
<div class="product-image-container">
<img />
</div>
<div id="product-details">
<h3 class="product-title"></h3>
<div class="product-description"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.product-image-container {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 58%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 50%;
margin: auto;
transform: translateX(-50%);
min-width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
}
#product-details {
float: right;
border: solid thin #777;
height: ~"calc(100% - 2px)";
width: 41%;
text-align: center;
}
The problem is your #product-details is floated, which creates a new BFM (block formatting context), and the parent gets collapsed.
I suggest you read more about BFMs here: http://yuiblog.com/blog/2010/05/19/css-101-block-formatting-contexts/
There are several ways to fix this:
You could clear the parent, a way to do that is by adding overflow: hidden; to the #product-summary element.
You could remove the float: right from #product-details, and use flexbox to align it instead.
I don't know any preprocessor wizardry, but using inline-block works good, as well as keeping positioned absolute elements wrapped in a relative parent for control. It wasn't mentioned how the image is displayed, so I assume aspect ratio unchanged and no cropping.

I'm trying to apply absolute position on an error label elemennt, which is inside an input field that is also positioned absolutely. The problem is that auto-width on the error element won't apply correctly, and will break after the first word. Why is that happening? If I use position right instead of left, it seems to work fine. Here's a jsfiddle link: http://jsfiddle.net/u793ata5/
Here's the HTML code:
<div id="outside">
<div id="inside">
<label class="error">Show this error on the side</label>
</div>
</div>
And CSS:
#outside {
position: relative;
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
}
#inside {
position: absolute;
top: 30%;
height: 30px;
left: 40%;
width: 80%;
}
.error {
width: auto;
position: absolute;
left: 90%;
top: 10%;
background-color: red;
color: white;
}
Why so many absolutely positioned elements? Maybe I'm not understanding what you want the layout to look like--and maybe you could clarify--but this modified fiddle looks more reasonable to me.
http://jsfiddle.net/u793ata5/3/
.error {
background-color: red;
display: block;
margin-left: 50%;
color: white;
}
I try not to use position: absolute unless I...uh absolutely have to.
You're putting it's position at 90% from the left. This means it only has 10% of the parent width to place text before wrapping. Try using
float: right;
instead of
left: 90%;

The content should load on the first page in a white box, with overflowing content pushing the following sections of the page down. However, as can be seen the lower sections load over the top of the first page white box. I have tried changing the positioning/clears of the various sections but cannot seem to create the necessary movement.
<section class="page1">
<div class="huge-title centered">
<div id='detailsbox'>
<h1 id='eorvtitle'></h1>
<img id='eorvimage' src=''>
<div><p>lots of text lots of text
</div>
</div>
</section>
<section class="page2" id='page2'>
</section>
.page1 {
background: url('../img/bg.jpg')#131313;
background-size: cover;
height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
.huge-title {
position: absolute;
top: -20%;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;
width: 100%;
height: 180px;
}
#detailsbox {
top: -4em;
width: 75%;
left: 12.5%;
right: 12.5%;
border: 20px solid white;
border-radius: 10px;
background-color: white;
text-align:center;
position: absolute;
float: left;
clear: both;
}
Absolute Positioning does not push containers down. It places itself above or below them based on the z-indexing. You need to enclose your absolute contents inside a relative container to push other containers downwards similar to those in jquery sliders.
you need to change .huge-title and #detailsbox to position:relative;
you can probably get rid of background-size: cover;
also change .huge-title and #detailsbox to the following:
.page1 {
background: url('../img/bg.jpg')#131313;
height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
.huge-title {
position: relative;
top: 20%;
right: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;
height: 100%;
}
#detailsbox {
top: -4em;
width: 75%;
left: 12.5%;
right: 12.5%;
border: 20px solid white;
border-radius: 10px;
background-color: white;
text-align: center;
position: relative;
float: left;
clear: both;
}
The proper function of an absolute position is to overlap content. If you want other content to automatically push down then use relative position.
The solution is to create an empty spacer div with float right or left. This would ensure there is space between the two.
Refer this answer
Absolute positioned elements are removed from the main flow of the HTML. That's why it's not pushing the elements below it down. It's now sitting on top of the elements before and after it rather than in between them.
You may want to check this out.
Whether or not absolute positioning makes sense in your case is hard to say without seeing the design you are trying to implement. Using default (aka "static") or perhaps relative positioning will push the other content down below the white box, but without a deign to look at it's hard to tell if that's the real solution.
You can add another empty section between page1 and page2 and give the css below
height: 100%;
Adding an empty div the size of the absolute entity between the absolute entity and other components may help.
Examining this HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="content">
</div>
</div>
<div class="footer">
<hr />
<p>some text</p>
</div>
and CSS:
.footer {
position: absolute;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
bottom: 0;
background-color: black;
}
.wrapper {
padding-bottom: 100px;
background-color: blue;
height: 100%;
}
.content {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
margin: auto;
background-color: green;
}
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
You can see that footer have position absolute and stay at the bottom of the page. wrapper will cover the remaining space and contain a content inside it. I want to vertical-align content without breaking the current layout. Do you have any suggestion?
Here is JSFiddle link. (Note: jsfiddle doesn't work as expected, there always a space beneath footer, this behavior doesn't occur when run the HTML file in browser).
Note: I don't want to use fixed height for wrapper, I want it covers all the remaining space, so please don't suggest me to use line-height
I tried the example here but it doesn't seem to work
NOTE I want the layout easy to modify (like add a header or content at the top) without breaking it therefore I want to avoid using absolute position on wrapper and content
NOTE 2 Sorry for not to clarify, actually, content doesn't have fixed size, its size depend on the content inside it, so the solution using negative margin doesn't work as I mentioned above
Here is one approach using the following CSS:
.footer {
position: absolute;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
bottom: 0;
background-color: black;
}
.wrapper {
background-color: blue;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 100px;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
.content {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
background-color: green;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-top: -50px;
margin-left: -100px;
}
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
Use absolute positioning and then negative margins, since your content has well-defined
dimensions, this is relatively straightforward.
See demo at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/DgUV2/
For .wrapper, use the top, bottom, left and right offsets to stretch the div to the
full width and height, taking into account the 100px for the footer.
For .content, set top and left to 50%, the center point of the .wrapper and then adjust
for the center of the .content div using negative margins.
Remember to zero out the margin for the body or else you might see 10px whitespace
depending on your browser.
Add this to your .content
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
Just 3 lines of code to vertical align
I was able to get it to work using Method 1 from the example you linked
I added the following:
.content {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
margin: auto;
background-color: green;
/* THE BELOW WAS ADDED */
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin: -100px 0 0 -100px;
}
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
/* BELOW ADDED TO REMOVE EXTRA SPACE AROUND EDGES */
margin: 0;
}
jsFiddle of working example
I am trying to put simple divs and arrange them, but my child div disappearing from parent div even though I am using parent div with relative and child div with absolute positioning. I want connect_us_01 and registeration divs insideheader_block1. I am working towards responsive webdesign. Many thanks.
JSFiddle
<div id="header">
<div id="header_block1">
<div id ="registeration">reg</div>
<div id ="connect_us_01">social media</div>
</div>
<div id="header_block2">
<div id="crown_logo">logo</div>
<div id="nav">navigation</div>
<div class="contact_No_01">020324234233</div>
</div>
</div>
css
#header {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
background-color: #ff6a00;
}
#header_block1 {
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 90%;
background-color: pink;
}
#header_block2 {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 90%;
position: relative;
background-color: aqua;
}
/*----social media & connect us block*/
#connect_us_01 {
position: absolute;
width: 300px;
height: 50px;
right: 0;
background-color: blue;
}
#registeration {
position: absolute;
left: 1px;
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
background-color: brown;
}
Elements with position: absolute are taken out of the content flow, meaning they have no inherent height. Since the children have no height, the parent gets no height either, rendering the children invisible. You could resolve it by giving the parent a static height (as in, for instance, height: 100px), but that's not very practical and not responsive at all.
What you're looking for isn't position: absolute; it's float: left and float: right. Apply those properties to the children and give the parent overflow: hidden (or whatever method of clearing floats works best with your layout) and it'll work just fine.
To show block you refering to just add to #header_block1 a height parameter also.
#header_block1 {
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 90%;
height: 50px;
background-color: pink;
}
