DIV positioning issue - html

In this website: bgflirt.com
There is a 200px width div containing TEST: <div style="width:200px;">TEST</div>. I need this div to be positioned as a column ot the right side of the content below the menu. No matter what I do it just keeps staying below it. I need it along side of it. The middle part must still be able to resize freely. Any ideas ?

The sibling element #content is not allowing any room for this element. Try this.
Assign position:relative to #content_wrap
Assign margin-right:200px to #content
Assign position:absolute; top:0px right:0px; to your <div style="width:200px;">TEST</div> element.

Is there a way to make elements be relative to a position:fixed element?

I have a navbar at the top of the page that I want to be fixed. The problem is that if I make it fixed as opposed to absolute or something, stuff that would normally be below it takes its place and it sits on top making the content invisible. Any way I can get them to notice the fixed element and position accordingly without having to position:absolute or position:relative all of them?
nav{
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
top:0;
}
Apply a margin-top or padding-top to the first non-fixed element on the page, with a value as high as the height of the fixed-position navbar. Typically that element would be main, the first section or similar, possibly also simply the first (non-fixed) div, depending on your page structure.

One of the div elements on my webpage is overlapping fixed header

I have a div element which is header and is fixed. I want it to remain at top of my website while other contents move below it while scrolling.
Below this header is a div element containing two div elements, one is floated left while other right.
Now when i scroll down my webpage left floated div element moves below the header as it should. However the other div element is moving over the header. I tried using z-index but it's not working. Please help.
Please add the sample code to understand the problem.
Try adding z-index to the parent. Something like this
.fixed{
z-index:1;
}
.float-parent{
z-index:0;
}

How to have a div be positioned relative to its parent, but float above it's siblings?

I have one div - the #container - that stretches across the window, filled with a graphic. I need a bar to float over the container div on the right side. If I use position:absolute and right:0, the div is positioned according to the window, not the #container div.
If I use position:relative, then the div is positioned according to the #container div but still takes up space and won't be hovering over the #container content.
Here is a JSFiddle that I made with my attempt.

NOTE that I do not want to use float:right, because that would keep the side div in the flow of the content, which I do not want.
I think I got it the way you wanted it?

You needed to make the parent position: relative and if you don't want the overflow you need overflow: hidden.
position:absolute; allows you to position an element compared to any positioned ancestor.
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">
</div>
</div>
.parent { position : relative; }
.child { position : absolute; }
Now, child will position itself based on the parent.
If the parent doesn't have a position set, then it will look at the position of the grandparent...
...and on and on, and if none of them have a position set, then it will look at the position of the actual web-page.
Also, if you have multiple positioned elements (whether relative/absolute/fixed) near the same place, and you want them to overlap in an order you set in CSS, and not in the order of which is set on the page last...
...then you also need to start using z-index (which only works on positioned elements).
The higher it is, the more stuff it stacks on top of.
Set the parent's position to relative
#container
{
position:relative;
}

Child element top value increased after adding a new child

This is how i designed the layout for my header
<div id="DivHeader">
<div id="DivTop">
</div>
<div id="DivBottom">
</div>
</div>
Initially i had set the top property for the DivBottom as 35px.At that time i did not have DivTop. So now, after adding it, the top for the DivBottom has been calculated from the new child(DivTop) as DivTop's height + DivBottom's top. As a result the layout got collapsed like this. I need to place DivTop without affecting the DivBottom's Top, Any ideas.?
[Note : I did not use absolute positioning for my divs, Because in that case margin:0 auto wont work.]
You're using relative positioning, for which this is the expected behavior. See the W3 on relative positioning:
Once a box has been laid out according to the normal flow or floated, it may be shifted relative to this position. This is called relative positioning.
So if you insert something above a relatively positioned element, it will first position according to the "normal flow", and then be repositioned according to your CSS.
You'll need to change the position to another value if you want the behavior you specified.
You would need to use absolute positioning:
#first
{
position:absolute;
left:50%;
margin-left:-5px; /* half the width value */
width:10px;
height:10px;
background-color:yellow;
}

How to adjust relative div height with respect to inner absolute height?

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.
