Placing an image to the top right corner - CSS - html

Question

I need to display an image on the top-right corner of a div (the image is a "diagonal" ribbon) but keeping the current text contained in an internal div, like stuck to the top of it.
I tried different things as including the image in another div or defining its class like:
.ribbon {
position: relative;
top: -16px;
right: -706px;
}
<div id="content">
<img src="images/ribbon.png" class="ribbon"/>
<div>some text...</div>
</div>
but without any luck. The best result I got was all the text scrolled down for the same height size of the image.
Any idea?

Answer 1

You can just do it like this:
<style>
#content {
position: relative;
}
#content img {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
}
</style>
<div id="content">
<img src="images/ribbon.png" class="ribbon" alt="" />
<div>some text...</div>
</div>

Answer 2

Position the div relatively, and position the ribbon absolutely inside it. Something like:
#content {
position:relative;
}
.ribbon {
position:absolute;
top:0;
right:0;
}

Answer 3

While looking at the same problem, I found an example
<style type="text/css">
#topright {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
display: block;
height: 125px;
width: 125px;
background: url(TRbanner.gif) no-repeat;
text-indent: -999em;
text-decoration: none;
}
</style>
<a id="topright" href="#" title="TopRight">Top Right Link Text</a>
The trick here is to create a small, (I used GIMP) a PNG (or GIF) that has a transparent background, (and then just delete the opposite bottom corner.)

Answer 4

Try using float: right; and a new div for the top so that the image will stay on top.
Example below:
#left{
float: left;
}
#right{
float: right;
}
<div>
<button type="button" id="left" onclick="alert('left button')">Left</button>
<img src="images/ribbon.png" class="ribbon" id="right">
</img>
</div>
<p>some text...
the image is on the top right corner</p>
<p>some more text...</p>
