my problem is the following:
I want to put an item directly to the right of a semantic-ui container.
<div class="outer-container">
<div class="ui main container">...</div>
<div class="right-aligned">...</div>
</div>
My outer-container is a footer that is sticky to the page.
.outer-container {
position: sticky;
bottom: 0;
height: 35px;
position: -webkit-sticky;
}
Without having any properties, the right-aligned div is pushed to the far right, but I'd like it to be directly next to the container.
I tried using flexbox but I did not succeed, and I suspect this is due to semantic-ui's container having the property margin-right:auto !important.
I'd be thankful for any pointers.

I am building a page HERE and I'm having trouble with the footer. I've done a lot of research looking at sticky footers and wrapping everything in containers... and my head is spinning.
The goal of the site is to display the song lyrics on the right as the title is clicked on the left, and it works miraculously well. The problem is that the footer doesn't move with the lyrics...
Your help is much appreciated!
When you used position:absolute for any element then you must add to position:relative their parent element otherwise it not work.
body {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 50px;
}
Or If you don't want add this in body then just wrap all the divs on one parent div like .wrapper and this css in that.
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="banner"></div>
<div class="container clearfix"></div>
<footer></footer>
<div>
Also add clearfix class in container div because its have float element
You can fix or make a sticky footer by using CSS or you can just put this CSS for you footer.
.footer-class{
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: 999;
}
Position is fixed for footer will never move in any page.
bottom 0 will fixed the footer at the bottom.
left and right 0 will placed the footer in the screen.
Width 100% will show the full width.
z-index will show at the front. Placed everything will behind the footer.
Situation
html:
<div class="container">
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">x</div>
</div>
</div>
css:
.container {
display: table;
}
.parent {
display: table-cell;
position: relative;
}
.child {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
}
What I expect:
the .child should be positioned to the right edge of .parent. Works in Chrome.
What I get in Firefox:
the .child is positioned to the right edge of the closest "non static" parent which is has not display: table-cell.

Question
Why does display: table-cell influence the positioning of child elements, or, why is position: relative ignored on table-cell elements? Can I work around this if I rely on table-cell?
You need to put position: relative; in your parent.
So in the code in your question add position: relative; to .container
Or in your jsfiddle add position: relative; to .parent
.parent {
height: 150px;
width: 450px;
display: table;
margin-top: 400px;
background: #bbb;
position:relative;
}

About your questioning 'why' : It's no more a 'block' level element. It's a table-cell so positioning will behave in a different way (in this case, with firefox).
See this to understand deeper about 'tables' behaviors

Add a wrapper to your absolute element and make it relative, so you will have something like table-cell > relative wrapper > absolute element
http://jsfiddle.net/SYG5k/13/
<div class="rel">
a
<div class="absolute">x</div>
</div>
.foo, .rel {
position: relative;
}
This is a work around I can't explain why it doesn't work normally. Perhaps someone else will answer that for you
Edit : my mistake the wrapper is supposed to wrap everything in the cell, it's what I originally wanted to code, more of a typo. I updated the fiddle above
A work around may be to use an inner div with a width and height of 100%, and set that to position:relative;
HTML:
<div class="parent">
<div class="cell foo">
<div class="cellInner">
a
<div class="absolute">x</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.cellInner{
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}

I was adding a popup menu that appears on each row of the table as the user mouses over it when I ran into this FF problem. Based on the very useful info above, I ended up putting a div wrapper inside the table cell in each row where I wanted my absolutely positioned popover menu to located, and set its display property to relative. My JS then adds the absolutely position menu inside the div as each row is rolled - it has to be a child of the the relatively positioned div, of course. Note that the div will shrink-wrap the td's content rather than filling the td as I expected, but no matter, you then have a relative context, and you can use top and left on the absolutely positioned child element to locate it exactly where you want it with respect to the table cell.
I have a page setup like
<div id="container">
<div id="main>
<div id="sidebar"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</div><!-- end main -->
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
with css:
#container {
position: relative;
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px
}
#content {
position: absolute;
}
This works for my default layout, but when I resize to something for mobile (i.e. less that 767 px)...my content becomes so long it runs behind my footer (and "outside" of my container div).
I need to keep the content position: absolute for my mobile layout (so that it runs vertically along with my sidebar, which is partially above the content and partially below the content in the mobile layout). But it seems like the absolute positioning is knocking the content div out of the regular flow so that the footer doesn't end up BELOW my content.
You should not be using absolute positioning unless really required. What you can do in your current setup, is supply height for the contents and make it auto scrollable.
#content {
position: absolute;
height:400px;
overflow:scroll;
}
Let's say I have a DIV that's styled as a square, and it has squares (DIV) inside of it. I'd like the squares inside the main DIV to stack in the lower right. I can use float: right to to get them on the right edge, but how do I make them stack at the bottom rather than the top?
Should you not find a good CSS solution, jQuery can easily handle this:
Fiddle
$('.inner').each(function(i) {
$this = $(this);
var bottomPos = ($this.outerHeight())*i;
$this.css('bottom', bottomPos);
});
HTML and CSS
<style type="text/css">
#outer {
width: 400px;
height: 600px;
background-color: #eee;
position: relative;
}
.inner {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: #ccc;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
}
</style>
<div id="outer">
<div class="inner">One</div>
<div class="inner">Two</div>
<div class="inner">Three</div>
<div class="inner">Four</div>
</div>
To get a child to stick to the very bottom of a container, set the position:relative and bottom:0px. However this will not stack them, you'd have to set the bottom to another value for a child to be above another child. You could use javascript or jquery to dynamically fit them if the sizes are variable like this:
$('#second_element').css('bottom', $('#bottom_element').height() + 5);
Note: 5 is just for padding
You can use display:table-cell with vertical-align:bottom
Here's a good tutorial on using "table-cell" layout:
http://www.digital-web.com/articles/everything_you_know_about_CSS_Is_wrong/
Depending on what you mean by "stack at the bottom", you can achieve this with the use of an inner container div that is aligned at the bottom. Then these child squares can be float right inside of this container div, causing them to stick to the bottom of the main div, like so:
<div id="main_div" style="position: relative; height: 500px; width: 500px;">
<div id="container_div" style="position: absolute; bottom: 0; right: 0;">
<div class="right_floated_square">Square 1 Content</div>
<div class="right_floated_square">Square 2 Content</div>
<div class="right_floated_square">Square 3 Content</div>
</div>
</div>
What this would do is flow these squares right to left at the bottom of the main div. However, these child squares would still flow top to bottom inside the container div. If you wanted them to vertically flow in reverse (bottom up), I'm not sure if that would be possible without some complex layout javascript.
Obviously, the exact styling of "right_floated_square" has been removed for brevity.
Here is a pure css version: http://jsfiddle.net/zkhWA/1/
Basically place your little squares in another absolutely positioned element that is grounded to the bottom right corner of the big square using:
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
Then make all the little squares float right:
float: right;
Don't forget to apply position:relative to the big square.
I'm having problems working out the z-index order for an application we're working on, i have two root parents, a nav bar and a map, and one child, the map tooltip. The navbar should be visible above the map, so it has a higher z-index, but the problems is to make the tooltip in the map container to be displayed over the sidebar as well, a bit hard to explain, so you can visualize the case on http://jsbin.com/afakak/2/edit#javascript,html,live :
<div id="nav-bar">
The nav bar
</div>
<div id="map-container">
This is the map container
<div id="tooltip">
This is the Tooltip
</div>
</div>
Thanks for any help.
If #map-container is positioned (i.e. not static), this is not possible, because of the way z-index is compared:
body (or any other positioned parent element) is the reference for both #map-container and #nav-bar. Any z-index you give them is calculated in respect to the parent element. So the one of the 2 elements with the higher z-index will be rendered above the other one and all its child elements. Z-index of #tooltip will only be compared with other children of #map-container.
You could do as Nacho said and statically position #map-container. You can simulate fixed positioning via Javascript, if you like.
If you cannot do that, you need to change your markup, so that #nav-bar and #tooltip have a common positioned parent element. Either move #nav-bar inside #map-container, or #tooltip out of it.
Below solution should work but I don't know if you have a requirement like keeping nav-bar outside map-container. If so I don't think that there is a workaround for that.
CSS:
#tooltip-helper{
position:relative;
/*below properties are to demonstrate the helper*/
width:10px;
height:10px;
background-color:green;
top:200px;
left:200px;
}
#tooltip
{
position:absolute;
top:10px;/*this is just to make sure helper is visible*/
left:-100px;/*this is to center the tooltip*/
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-color: yellow;
color: black;
padding: 10px;
z-index: 15;
}
HTML:
<div id="map-container">
<div id="nav-bar">
The nav bar
</div>
This is the map container
<div id="tooltip-helper">
<div id="tooltip">This is the Tooltip</div>
</div>
</div>
You have to absolutely position nav-bar and tooltip (otherwise z-index won't be taken in account), and maintain map-container static positioned
#map-container{
...
position: static;
...
}
#nav-bar{
...
position: absolute;
}
#tooltip{
...
position: absolute
}
I think the only way you can do this with a position: fixed on the #map-container is to restructure your tool tips to display outside the #map-container. So on click of the icon "inside" the map container, the tool-tip itself is displayed above both (with a proper z-index set).
<div id="nav-bar">
The nav bar
</div>
<div id="map-container">
This is the map container
</div>
<div id="tooltip">
This is the Tooltip
</div>
After going through, your codes, i noticed this.
#tooltip{
background-color: yellow;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
color: black;
padding: 10px;
z-index: 15;
}
Your #tooltip has a z-index, but it's not positioned. Z-index property will only work if it's has one of the position property value. And considering you want the tooltip to stand out, you should use the absolute position value like this.
#tooltip{
position: absolute;
background-color: yellow;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
color: black;
padding: 10px;
z-index: 15;
}
HTML
<div id="map-container">
<div id="nav-bar">
The nav bar
</div>
This is the map container
<div id="tooltip">
This is the Tooltip
</div>
</div>
This keeps the #tooltip on top....
For future readers with similar problems -
If your conflicting child items are position: fixed, consider setting the height of the parent containers to 0px, and then shifting any parent background display settings onto a mutual grandparent of the conflicting children.
This solved my analogous delimma.
If, in the real page, the tooltip has to be shown only on hovering the map container, you could just change dynamically its z-index like so:
#map-container:hover
{
z-index: 16
}
Otherwise you need to change the position of the tooltip so that the nav-bar doesn't overlap it.
