How to get image to show on top of header image - wordpress

I gave my sidebar a negative top margin to display an image over top of the header yellow image but I can't get the sidebar image to show on top. I have added position: relative and played with the z-index but nothing is working.
Here is the page
Here's the css code I have -
.reciperight {
float: right;
width: 28%;
color: #512e70 !important;
font-size: 18px !important;
position: relative;
margin-top: -200px;
}

I checked your page and there is a CSS code in your parent #primay div that makes the image hidden.
change the overflow from hidden to visible and your issue will fix like bellow.
#primary {
float: left;
overflow: visible;
width: 100%;
}
Result

#primary {
float: left;
/* overflow: hidden; */
width: 100%;
}
If you use overflow:hidden then it was hidden outside of content so remove overflow:hidden.

Make div stretch to length of it's content and beyond if parent div is longer?

I want to make a div (my sidebar) stretch to the bottom of the page. I know that I need to add "height: 100%;" in order to do that.
But when I add height: 100%;, pages that have less content than the sidebar cuts the sidebar's height and then you can't see the sidebar content.
This is the index page . Everything looks exactly the way I want it to.
This is a sample page . Notice that the sidebar has been cut.
CSS:
#menu-container {
background-image: url('floral.png');
width: 300px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
}
#menu {
background-image: url('menubg.png');
width: 220px;
margin: 0;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-left: 30px;
padding-right: 20px;
color: #e8e8e8;
height: 100%;
}
#content {
padding: 0px 0px 30px 325px;
width: 1000px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
Thanks in advance!

The changed CSS fixed my second problem but now I'm back to the cut off sidebar on shorter pages: See here: http://www.tarawilder.com/staging/?page_id=19
I'm leaving my house now, I'll be able to respond later tonight. Thanks again for your help!
#container {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
width: 900px;
}
try this..it will give you the result you want..though there are many other mistakes in your html markup
some other areas where you need to be careful...
your container's width is 900px..which contains side menu and the large text...combined width of your side menu and the large text is far greater than your 900px width of your container..as you are not using overflow:hidden; you cant see the effect...why dont you apply overflow:auto; width:100% or something like that
BETTER CSS::
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
}
ACCORDING TO YOUR NEW PROBLEM :: now your body height must be more than 100% now..thats why after 100% height your side menu becomes invisible
CHANGED CSS ::
#container {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
your third problem ::
strange...you are now using width:100% for your cantainer..and your container contains side menu and large text...and side menu has width of 300px and then your having width of 1000px for large text..so naturally the overflowed part ot the text gets invisible; and also remove position:absolute; from container
now your css
#container {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
#content {
padding: 0px 0px 30px 325px;
vertical-align: top;
}
NOTE:: don't delete your edited part of your question..you have already deleted the 2nd edit you made to your question earlier...it will create difficulties for future users to relate the answer with question
Make sure that your parent containers (#container, body, html) are height:100%; as well.
Personally, I would do something like this(if the rest of the site layout allows it):
Instead of creating separate backgrounds for #menu, #menu-caontainer and body i would create background on body something like this: http://cl.ly/image/3L060f2w3Z0s
that would repeat vertically on y axis, so no matter how high the body is the background would stretch/repeat to the bottom.

Links doesn't work in layered divs

I've been trying to figure out how to get my links working in layered divs
I have a big div containing two other divs:
main div with content and
a navigation div for my menu
The problem is that the main div is overlapping the navigation div wherein i want my links to be (ribbons) so that it looks like they are being pulled out when hovered. But they arent active links at all? my css is as follow:
.navigate {
width: 1020px;
height: 300px;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
left: 0;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
top: 190px;
z-index: -1;
border: 1px solid red;}
and
.main {
background: url("../images/papir.png") no-repeat center; /* papir.png bredde=1020px */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 150px;
margin-bottom: 7em;
width: 1020px; /* 1020px */
height: 752px; /* 752px */
z-index: 0;
border: 1px solid green; }
it's like the navigation div is behind something :$
When i change the z-index to 0 in the navigation div it works just fine except that the div is not behind the main div..
I've tried to fix it with
body {
position: relative;
z-index: 0; }
read somewhere that it should fix the problem - but not for me
Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks in advance
Currently, you have the .navigate div z-index set to -1 so it is behind the .main div. Make it greater than the other divs so it's on top. E.g. z-index: 101;
Got it working!
Just added:
position: relative;
to the .main-div
When i change the z-index to 0 in the navigation div it works just fine except that the div is not behind the main div..
If I understand this correctly , there is no way to get a link to work if there is another div overlapping on top of the link , ex. If The nav div is under the main div the links on Nav div will not work
but..
if you want the div with the links on top - poistion them relative or absolute or fixed , and set the z-index to any number higher then the div you want behind
use negative margin for the div you want to over lay for example
.overlay-div{margin-top:-20px;}

CSS footer width issue

I'm currently working on this site and I want the footer to be 100% (width) of the screen but it has refused to respond no matter what I do. I've checked to see if the ID has a duplicate but I saw nothing. The CSS code is as shown below:
#footer {
width: 100%;
clear: both;
height: 400px;
background-color: #293D61;
}
Your footer is a nested div inside #rack. At 100%, your footer will only be as wide as your outer/parent div. You need to move it out of the parent div and make it a sibling
Try doing it this way,
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
clear: both;
height: 400px;
background-color: #293D61;
}
Check whether your footer is is in inside some other div...? if so then it will not be of full page length....

Position a div element above another one

In the picture below, I am wanting to place the driftwood/bomb image over the image directly above it; hence, I want to remove/collapse the "space" between these two divs. The gap, however, is not caused by the markup itself, because as you can see the "bomb" is making the picture bigger on the height.
I would like to position the navigation bar on the "header" (so the brown top of the navigation is just below the header bottom), so the gap disappears. These images are meant to overlap.
I assume this can be done using CSS. But how? Whatever solution needs to work cross-browser.
HTML:
<header></header>
<nav></nav>
CSS:
header {
width: 980px;
height: 327px;
background: url(../images/header.png);
}
nav {
width: 980px;
height: 180px;
background: url(../images/menu.png);
}
Maybe a negative margin?
header {
width: 980px;
height: 327px;
background: url(../images/header.png);
}
nav {
width: 980px;
height: 180px;
background: url(../images/menu.png);
margin: -90px auto 0;
}

Relative positioning could fix this for you:
nav {
position: relative;
top: -20px;
}
place the div inside the header div.
nav {
position: relative;
bottom: -30px;
}
A top-margin with a negative value is indeed what you seek. If the nav would disappear beneath the header, you should change the nav's z-index. Try different numbers: 100, 1000, 10000 etc.

How do I fix these margins? Only working ok in Firefox

I'm having issues with the margins in browsers (other than Firefox) on this page:
http://jumpthru.net/newsite/commentary/
Here is the CSS:
#container3 {
float: right;
margin: 0 -240px;
width: 100%;
}
#content3 {
margin: 0 210px 0 -45px;
width:500px;
}
#primary, #secondary {
left:920px;
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 40px;
position:absolute;
width: 220px;
}
Kind of a strange way to build up the page..
I recommend you to create a 2 column layout in main2..
Left for menu and right for the comments header, with beneath that the content and the recent comments div..
And, start using clearfix: http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html
I fixed the issue in Chrome by changing this CSS:
#primary, #secondary {
left: 980px; /*was 920px*/
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 40px;
position: absolute;
width: 220px;
}
I see you're using absolute position on #primary, this is based on the window so when i resize the window the "Recent Comments" section moves. So depending on the resolution of the users screen and the size of their browser this will move.
add position relative to the main2 div. Then change the left value on the #primary to right with a value of 0. this will keep it on the right side and always in the same place.
#main2 {
position: relative;
...
}
#primary, #secondary {
right: 0;
...
}
EDIT: The reason this works is when you use position: absolute the value is absolute the nearest relative parent element. if the element as no parent elements with position: relative it will be absolute to the browser window. Hope that makes sense.
