I'm trying to add caption of images on top of the image. These images should be floating in a grid-like system (without an fixed height!) like in the fiddle I made over here http://jsfiddle.net/thomasjonas/GzjuM/3/
You can already see te problem... Because of the absolute positioning of the title and image inside the relative item div, the relative item div doesn't get the appropriate height, but just the height of the border... How can I fix this? I have looked for answers everywhere, but most of the time the problems of others are solved using a different approach. The only other approach I know for my problem is using an image as a background for a div, but then I need to know the width and height of my image... What is the best solution for this problem?
Don't position the images absolute. Instead render the <div class="image"> elements as block (using display:block if you changed your div style somewhere) and set up a margin instead of fiddling with absolute positioning:
.item .image{
display:block;
margin-top: 1em;
margin-left: 1em;
}

So I have a div with display:flex and position:relative.
I'd like to have an overlay element on the bottom of this div so I put position:absolute on it. If its height would be auto that would be the best but not must have. The problem is if I scroll the parent relative div then the absolute positioned goes with it. How could I pin it to the bottom?
Code
I'd like a pure css solution.

If I got what you want, you always want to have arrows on the screen. But that's fixed position then, like this:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/mAzjWE
.actionRow {
position: fixed;
bottom:120px;
}
In this fiddle I have a load of divs, an input and some images that are displayed inline. I want to shift the images down a bit so it looks nicely aligned, but when I apply padding or margin, it simply pushes down every element inside the container.
<div class="rs-paging">
<div class="rs-pageclick">
<img class="rs-selectfirst" src="http://findicons.com/files/icons/2296/fidelity/32/arrow_left.png" alt="" title="First Page">
</div>
.rs-pageclick img {
cursor:pointer;
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 15px;
}

I've tried display:table/table-cell, no difference. I started without the images in container divs and that was just the same. vertical-align:top doesn't seem to help. And it ssems the same with padding or margin.
I don't really want to resort to position absolute/relative as I think there should be a way with simply setting padding. This is driving me nuts !
thanks
The elements are all set to display: inline-block;. When you give one of the elements a margin-top, you push the whole line down.
Are you trying to get the items to align vertically? If so, you could use vertical-align: middle; on the inline-block elements.

Using overflow:hidden and fixing height for divs seem to work and fit your requests (I added a div containing all the text ones) :
https://jsfiddle.net/qds8pnfx/5/
I'm trying to span a child div the full width of the page from within a fixed width container parent div. I've found a few posts on how to do this but nothing seems to work for me. This overflow in particular seems to make it work with position: absolute; and left:0; right: 0; however, my div disappears when i use absolute positioning. The div does span the full width when using position: fixed; but I dont want fixed positioning :(
I've tried numerous things now and I'm pulling my hair out with this seemingly easy task. Please see my link below where I am using fixed position on my lightgray div for the sake of the example - if you change to absolute position you will see the div disappears.
Here is my test link - http://www.daybreakutah.com/test-3/
All and any help is much appreciated!
For example: http://jsfiddle.net/MYvYy/182/
I have a lot of 'inner_box' elements inside of 'outer_box'. Inner_box elements a absolute.
I would like to adjust the outer_box height so that all inner_box elements fit in the outer_box.
I know it can be done with js. But I don't really like adjusting style with scripts.
So I was wondering if it is possible to be done using CSS?
I have some workaround for this problem, it may not fit your situation but consider looking at it.
First of all we need to duplicate all absolute positioned div which you want to make the parent extend to its height.
So your HTML will look like this.
<div class="outer_box">
<div class="inner_box">1</div>
<div class="inner_box ghost">1</div>
</div>
Then we need to add the "ghost div" CSS like so:
.inner_box.ghost{
visibility: hidden;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: relative;
}
It's not possible with CSS alone.
Layout flow:
An element with position:absolute is outside of the layout flow of the rest of the page. As far as the relative parent is concerned, the absolute child occupies no space in the layout.
This is very useful if you need to have a pop-up or a nav menu nested inside a container, because it won't affect the layout of the container. That's the sort of use case that position:absolute is well-suited for.
Fixed height:
If you need absolute content to behave as if it's a part of the layout flow, use fixed height. Give the relative parent and the absolute child a fixed height, and avoid placing any variable-height child elements before the absolute child. If variable-height content does precede it, use a relative placeholder div with a fixed height at the location where the absolute child needs to appear.
If position:absolute has to be used and fixed height is not an option, use JavaScript.
I only can provide you with Javscript fix for this using jQuery lib.
let me know if you use it or not,
$('.outer_box').height($('.inner_box').outerHeight());
This line will fix the outer_box height
I have tried the Fixed height method, but on small screens it is overlapping. So I have solved this problem by setting overlay background layer to seperate division and content to another division.
<div style="position:relative; background-color: blue; background-image:url('banner.png'); background-size:cover; background-position: center top;">
<div style="position:absolute; top:0; bottom:0; left:0; right:0; z-index:1; background-color:#00000099;"></div>
<div style="position:relative;z-index:2;"><h1 style="color:#fff;">Hello</h1></div>
</div>
I have uploaded the code on Codepen: https://codepen.io/shahbaz8x/pen/GRjEBze
I fixed it by changing the position property of div.inner_box into
position:relative
if this is not what you'r looking for, or this didn't fix it, then you will have to use Javascript.
So, I'm experimenting with using rounded-corners in CSS3 (not in IE, don't care if it works there), and I have the DIV where all of my content lives looking quite nice. The problem I'm having is that there are child DIVs that are not getting "masked" by the parent's rounded corners. I'm not looking for the child to inherit the rounded-corners. I just want to have any content inside the parent to not be visible where it is rounded, as if it were masked. I tried using "overflow: hidden;", but that doesn't seem to do the trick.
Does anyone have any ideas how the children of the rounded-cornered container DIV can be sorta masked by the parent DIV? If it's of any use, I'm using "position: absolute;" on the parent DIV. Not sure if that will make any difference.
Thanks!
Try adding overflow: hidden; to the parent element. This fixed the problem for me.
Use padding on the div. If you make the padding equal to the radius you shouldn't have to worry about any overlap or the content appearing in the rounded areas.
<style>
.round{
border-radius:10px;
padding:10px;
background-color:red;
}
</style>
<div class="round">Rounded Corners</div>
Here is a helpful site that talks all about the CSS3 Border Radius: http://www.css3.info/preview/rounded-border/.
