I added the famous "Fork me on Github" ribbon to one of my projects. The tag looks like this:
<a href="https://github.com/Nurdok/htmlify">
<img style="position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; border: 0;"
src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/github/ribbons/forkme_right_red_aa0000.png"
alt="Fork me on GitHub">
</a>
It looks great, but some of the divs on my webpage have minimum length, so when the window is small, one has to horizontally scroll the screen. When that happens, I want the "Fork me on Github" link to stick to the top-right side of the page, not the window. This is how it looks right now:
Scrolled all the way to the left:
Scrolled all the way to the right:
It seems that the ribbon is placed on the top-right side of the initial window, and stays static.
What I want is for it to be out of sight in the first case and top-right in the second case (when I scroll to the right).
Edit: Thanks for the quick answers, people. However, most of the answers made the ribbon scroll horizontally and vertically with the page. What I want is for it to be fixed on the top-right side of the page (not the browser view), and only be seen if I scroll to where its position is.
You can do a little trick and put your image into a div which has minimal-width.
<div style="position:relative;min-width:960px">
<img src="..." style="position: absolute;right:0;top:0" />
</div>
and put that div at the beginning of <body> section.
position:relative makes that all children of that elements that have position:absolute are positioned absolute according to that div, not whole page. When viewport is bigger than min-width, the div is the same width as the viewport. When the viewport is smaller, the div will have the min-width and the image stays at the corner of the div.
Two alternatives
Sticking to the Viewport: To stick it to the viewport you should position your element "fixed" instead of "absolute"
<img style="position: fixed; top: 0; right: 0; border: 0;"
Sticking to a Container: And if you want it to be sticked to a container (so youn dont see it when you browse left) use absolute but do that container position:relative so its containing block is targeted
If you dont want to see the image when scrolling left then use a explicit width for this container I am talking about
Here is a JSFiddle example.
I used a squared div instead of an image. CSS code as follows:
#container {
width: 700px;
height: 700px;
background: #55ff90;
position: relative;
}
#image {
width: 70px;
height: 60px;
background: #ffff90;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
}
In case it's supposed to stick to the right top on horizontal scroll only, you can't accomplish this with basic CSS. Your requirement is stick to the right top for horizontal scroll but not vertical scroll. The first part of the requirement can be accomplished using position: fixed; though this breaks the second part.
How about always sticking to the right top of the website using a relative float: Fiddle
<div id='container'>
<div id='sticky'>x</div>
</div>
#sticky {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
float: right;
}
#container {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
background: blue;
}
You should use float:right, adjusting margin if you need, e.g.: margin-right: 5px. Cheers :)
If I understand what you want correctly, you'd like for the image to stick to the top corner of the window UNTIL the window gets to a certain size (horizontally) and then stick.
If so, here is a plausible solution:
body{
min-width:1000px; /* or whatever you need it to be */
}
#ribbon{
position:relative;
float:right;
}

You can also use a container div with min-width, your choice.
Change position: absolute; to position: fixed.
As side note, put the style on the a instead of the image and add some z-index to make sure it stays on top of everything else:
<a href="https://github.com/Nurdok/htmlify" style="position: fixed; top: 0; right: 0; border: 0; z-index: 999; display: block;">
<img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/github/ribbons/forkme_right_red_aa0000.png"
alt="Fork me on GitHub">

I have seen the layout similar to the image below used on some sites before and I really like the design but don't exactly know how to implement the overlapping image (Profile Image). I am using bootstrap if that helps. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I can see three ways to do this generally.
position: absolute
You could give the image or the image's wrapper the attribute of position:absolute and giving its container (in your example the green box) position:relative. Then you would apply top: -100px or whatever and a left attribute of left: 100px or whatever. This gives the effect of the image being out of flow, aligned to the left and offset by 100px, and 100px offset from the top of the green container. The disadvantage of this approach would be that any body content in your green container could appear under the image.
position: relative
This is the same approach as the first one with the exception of how the image flows in the document. Instead of giving the image position:absolute, you would give it position:relative. Relative works differently from absolute. instead of being x and y coordinates of the parent container, it's just shifted by however much you give as a value for top and left. So in this case, you would apply top:-100px and just leave the other directional values as default. this would shift your element by that amount but also leave its original spot in the document flow. As such you end up with a gap below the image that other content will flow around.
negative margin
I honestly would prefer this method in your case. In this method, you can give the image a negative margin (e.g. margin-top:-100px). This will offset the image, collapse the area below the image, and it will still retain some of its flow in the document. This means that the content of the green container will flow around the image but only around the part that is still inside the container. It won't have a ghost area that content flows around like with relative positioning, but it also doesn't entirely take the image out of flow like absolute positioning. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that if you try to use overflow of any kind other than the initial value, it will cause undesirable effects to your image.
Demo
Here's a quick little demo demonstrating all three methods in a simple use case: http://jsfiddle.net/jmarikle/2w4wqfxs/1
The profile image can be set with position: absolute; top: 20px; left: 20px, or something like that to keep in from taking up space in the flow of the page.
make the html element that holds the header image "position:relative". Then put the header image and the profile image in that element. then make the profile image "position:absolute" and utilize "top: XXpx" depending on how far you want it from the top of the header element. Same for "left".
see fiddle here
<div class="header">
<img src="" alt="my image" class="floatdown">
this is my header, image could go here too
</div>
<div class="body">
this is my body content
</div>
.header {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 150px;
border: 2px solid #000;
text-align: right;
}
.body {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
border: 2px solid #000;
height: 500px;
text-align: right;
}
img {
width: 90px;
height: 90px;
border: 2px solid #ddd;
}
.floatdown {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 20px;
}
You can use the float property on your profile image to take it out of the "flow" of the document, and play with the margins to place it properly.
CSS :
#profile-image{
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
float: left;
margin: 100px;
}
The marginis used to push it down and place it properly.
You can see an example of this in a Fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/y706d77a/
I wouldn't recommand using position: absolute as you can get very strange results with different resolutions. I would only use that as a last resort.
This can be done many ways.
Anytime you see something like that on the web you can just use your inspector or firebug and see how they are doing it to get some ideas.
It wouldn't hurt to do some research on the web about CSS positioning.

I just finished it.
Here is a codepen link:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/zxYrxE
HTML:
<div class="main-container">
<div class="header">
<p>This is the header div</p>
</div>
<div class="profile">
<p>Profile</p>
</div>
<div class="content">
<p>Some dummy content div</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS is to big to be pasted here, so just open the link.
Put the profile image in the header, make the position: absolute; and the image position: relative;, and give it a negative bottom value that's half the height of the image, and set left to position it horizontally to taste.
HTML
<header>
<img class="profile">

img{
position: absolute;
bottom: -50px;
left: 100px;

just got a question regarding relative & absolute positioning and applying clearfix to the main container cos I've written the code and it's not behaving as I expected.
Structure-wise this is a simple page about product history. nav-bar with drop-down menu at the top across the screen, then a big hero image across the screen, followed by a few paragraphs and a simple footer, that's it.
here's my problem:
I need to put 3 components in the hero image area - the hero image itself, one title word on the top left corner and one logo on the top right corner. What I've done is: I created a div and used the hero image as background image. I set the position value of the div to relative. I created another div to hold the title word and set the position to absolute, using top and left to give it a location. Following the same logic, I created another div to hold the logo and set it to float right, with position set to absolute and top and right to give a location. I've applied clearfix to the main div and everything looks ok on my screen (resolution 1280 x 1024) until I saw it on the wide screen(1680 x 1050) --- the logo is not on the hero image! It's to the right side of the hero image.
What caused this? I thought by putting 2 divs inside the main div and applying clearfix, the three will "get together" and act as one and won't separate... Is it because I haven't written any code for responsive layout? Or was it because I shouldn't have used the hero image as the background? Would this problem be solved if I used z-index instead to specify the stack order of hero image, logo and title word?
Below is my code and any help would be much appreciated!
<div id="history-content" class="clearfix">
<div id="history-image-text">HISTORY</div>
<div id="stamp">
<img src="./images/logo.png">
</div>
</div>
#history-content {
background-image: url('./images/heroimage.jpg');
min-height: 307px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
position: relative;
}
#history-image-text {
color: #fff;
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 50px;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#stamp img {
width: 10%; /*not sure I'm doing the right thing here either*/
height: 40%; /*not sure I'm doing the right thing here either*/
float: right;
position: absolute;
right: 100px;
top: 20px;
}
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
height: 0;
line-height: 0;
}
Few things:
Absolutely positioned elements are taken out of normal flow, hence doesn't affect the size of their parent.
Since they're out of normal flow, float has no effect on them (as far as i know)
Absolutely positioned elements shrink wraps to fit it's contents unless width and height is set explicitly or stretched using the top, right, bottom & left properties.
Now your parent div #history-content doesn't have any height set, and all of it's content of are absolutely positioned, So it's not visible (height 0)
applying a proper height for the parent seems to fix the issues for me.
Side note: unlike what you think, you don't have two absolutely positioned<div>'s, #stamp img absolutely positions the <img> inside div#stamp, for the same reason mentioned above, div#stamp is also invisible (height 0) you'll get the same result with and without it. And without floats
As others have said, float doesn't have an effect on absolute positioned elements, and so technically you don't need clearfix in this case.
I'm not exactly sure why your logo is positioned outside the outermost container #history-content, but you could try to put a border around the #history-content to further troubleshoot.
EDIT: Maybe check your hero image dimension, is it smaller than 1608px in width?
<div id="history-content">
<div id="history-image-text">HISTORY</div>
<div id="stamp">
<img src="./images/logo.png">
</div>
</div>
I've changed your CSS below
#history-content {
background-image: url('./images/heroimage.jpg');
min-height: 307px; /*set whatever minimum height you wish*/
background-repeat: no-repeat;
position: relative;
}
#history-image-text {
color: #fff;
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 50px;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#stamp {
display: block;
position: absolute;
right: 100px;
top: 20px;
width: 10%; /*set width of image in containter instead*/
height: auto;
}
#stamp img {
max-width: 100%; /*image width will not stretch beyond 100% of container*/
height: auto;
}
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/5L9WL/3/
I have the following code:
<div style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; background-color: #00FF00">
<div style="position: relative; left: 300px; top: 45px; height: 100%; width: 100%; background-color: #FF0000;"></div>
</div>
Screenshot:
Why does the div gets pushed outside of the viewing area and hence showing the scrollbars. If you check toward the top right corner, the black area is the extension when the red div moved.
How can I edit it so the red div has the top and the left position but doesn't extend beyond the page width and height?
To actually answer the "why" of the question:
The reason you're getting scroll bars is that the relative positioned div inside of the absolute is set to 100% width and height, but ALSO is displaced (in this case, by top and left)
It is therefor assuming 100% width/height of the parent container AND displacing it, causing it to be too large.
By adding overflow:hidden, you seemingly solve this issue, but any content past that will be clipped, not actually fitting inside the dimensions you have set.
Another way to do this would be something like...
top: 10%;
left: 10%;
width:90%;
height:90%;
You could just as easily substitute top and left for padding/margin of that direction.
You can use CSS3's calc() function to set the second div's height and width to be the same as the first one's, minus the left and top offsets. This will also allow you to use position: absolute in your text, aligning it to the right:
<div style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; background-color: #00FF00">
<div style="position: relative; left: 300px; top: 45px; height: calc(100% - 45px); width: calc(100% - 300px); background-color: #FF0000;">
<span style="position: absolute; right: 0; top: 50%;">TESTING THIS OUT</span>
</div>
</div>
Check the working JSFiddle. I also added a CSS reset to get rid of the body margins that the browser might add. If you want to use this reset in your HTML file, create a <style> tag inside your <head> tag, with the code that is showing in the CSS section in the JSFiddle. If you don't want to use the entire reset, the only actually relevant part is body { margin: 0px; }, so you can also add style="margin: 0px;" to your body tag.
I hope I can explain this.
I have an image which is "stuck" to the right hand side of the browser window, so when the browser window changes size it remains stuck to the right. The style I use is:
style="position :absolute; top :4px; right :4px"
I also have a minimum body width of 1024px:
body
{
min-width: 1024px;
}
This all works great until the window is resized less that 1024, then the image is still stuck to the right hand side of the window. But I would like it to stick to the right hand side of the total page area. If you see what I mean.
Thanks,
AJ
the css position attribute calculates based on a positioned parent. If your image does not have any parents which are positioned, then the absolute will be relative to the screen. You should be able to fix this by putting position:relative; in your css for the body or by wrapping everything in a div of the correct size with position:relative;
You may succeed with using a position: relative in a div containing your image, with some code like this :
<div style="position:relative; min-width: 1024px">
<div style="position: absolute; top: 10px; right: 4px; width: 20px; height: 20px; background-color: red"></div>
<div style="width: 1024px; margin: auto 0px; height: 400px; background-color: #AAA"> </div>
</div>
Example here: http://jsfiddle.net/7jafS/
In an HTML page, if I align some <div>s with "right: 0px", they all look very nice, as I expect. However, if I make the browser window smaller and the horizontal scroll bar appears, when I scroll the page to the right, I see an unexpected white space (instead of the background colors of my <div>s). It seems that my <div>s are aligned relative to the visible area of the page. See the sample code below:
<html>
<head>
<style>
<!--
#parent {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
background-color: yellow;
}
#child {
position: absolute;
left: 100px;
top: 300px;
width: 1000px;
height: 400px;
background-color: blue;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="parent"><div id="child">some text here</div></div>
</body>
</html>
Is there any way to make the "right: 0px" property align the controls relative to the size of the entire page, not only the visible area?
Thanks.
The Problem is the "absolute" position in the parent element, because it's scrollable per definition.
If you set the position to "fixed" and an additional attribute overflow to "scroll", it should look like expected.
#parent {position: fixed;
overflow: scroll;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
background-color: yellow;
}
if you add
html{ border: 3px solid red }
to your stylesheet,
you'll see that you are setting the 'right' property to the edge of the page.
I think you need to rethink your strategy.
What are you trying to achieve?
Dont use absolute position unless you absolutely must. Use margins and paddings instead. And dont forget to reset margins and paddings so you dont start with whatever the browser has as default.
Is it necessary to use absolute positioning in your case? Otherwise you can remove the left and right properties and simply use width: 100%;
my answer is i want change align scroll?
example "right align" scroll.
#ex {overflow: scroll}
Right? Bottom? Are sure these are even real CSS attributes? Normally you would just set top/left and then width/height...
