Display Position: Relative Compatibility Issue - css

Display="Position: Relative;" is Juggling in IE (Browser Mode: IE7/8/9 - Document Mode: Quirks) But If I changed Document Mode from Quirks to IE7/8 or even 9 it's working fine. How to set through CSS this issue? Please see sample code below:
CSS
.aFlyOut{
padding: 10px;
bottom: 0px;
border: 1px solid #a6adb3;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
position: relative;
z-index: 9999;
}
.aFlyoutCollapse
{
background-image: url("/vtpOnline/images/settings.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 100% 50%;
cursor:pointer;

background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 100% 50%;
cursor:pointer;
width:40px;
height: 20px;
text-indent: 21px;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
.aFlyoutButton{

}
.aFlyout{

When i mouse hover it shows:
However, it should be as:

Document mode quirks means that you're essentially running a pre-IE6 rendering engine. A good solution to solve this is to add a doctype to the top of your HTML document. This will put the browser in standards mode by default, and will allow your position:relative; to work as expected.
The simplest doctype is the HTML5 one:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Put that on line 1 of your HTML. There is no way to force standards mode via CSS.

Thanks everyone, it has been resolved; please see following code reference. I've changed position from relative to absolute and set top & height to fix the positioning.
.aFlyOut{
position: absolute;
top: 28px;
height: 70px;
}

Positioning elements inside DIV

I have the following HTML:
<div class="Section__item">
<div class="Section__item__title">Title</div>
<div>
<img
class="Section__item__image"
width="120px"
src="/static/images/test.jpeg"
>
<i class="Section__item__icon icon-right-nav-workflow"/>
</div>
<div class="Section__item__text">This is a descritption</div>
</div>
And this is my style using scss:
.Section {
&__item{
border: #EEF3F7 solid 1px;
padding: 10px;
height: 150px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
box-shadow: 3px 3px #EEF3F7;
&:hover {
background-color: #E3F4FE;
cursor: pointer;
}
&__title {
text-align: left;
color: black;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 900;
}
&__image {
padding-top: 5px;
float: left;
}
&__icon {
float: right;
font-size: 40px;
}
&__text {
float: left;
}
}
}
The result is the following:
And what I need to get is the following:
I need the text to be under the image and where you see a "red" line in the right the text can't go further, if text is bigger then wrap text.
Also if you see right icon has to be positioned exactly on the same top level as the image.
Any clue?
There's loads of ways to do this (flexbox, grid, tables, absolute positioning). The oldschool way would be a clearfix but really you should avoid floats altogether. The simplest solution to what you have so far is to remove ALL of the float's; make the div that holds the image and the icon position:relative; and set the icon to position:absolute; top:0; right:0;.
.Section__item {
border: #EEF3F7 solid 1px;
padding: 10px;
min-height: 150px; /* changed to min-height so that it expands if there's loads of text */
margin-bottom: 15px;
box-shadow: 3px 3px #EEF3F7;
width:400px;
}
.Section__item:hover {
background-color: #E3F4FE;
cursor: pointer;
}
.Section__item__title {
color: black;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 900;
}
.Section__item__imagewrap {
position: relative;
}
.Section__item__image {
margin-top: 5px;
}
.Section__item__icon {
font-size: 40px;
line-height: 40px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
.Section__item__text {}
<div class="Section__item">
<div class="Section__item__title">Title</div>
<div class="Section__item__imagewrap">
<img class="Section__item__image" width="120px" src="https://placeimg.com/320/240/any">
<i class="Section__item__icon icon-right-nav-workflow">i</i>
</div>
<div class="Section__item__text">This is a description. If the text is long it will wrap and the section__item's height will increase to fit the content.</div>
</div>
Uh... don't use float? Or rather, only use float on the one thing you want to break out of normal flow, which is the icon.
PS: <i> is not an autoclosing tag, so writing <i /> is incorrect even if browsers will likely ignore your mistake. Also, putting padding on an image doesn't seem right, I switched to margin-top in this code.
.Section__item {
display: inline-block; /* so it doesn't take full width of the snippet */
border: #EEF3F7 solid 1px;
padding: 10px;
height: 150px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
box-shadow: 3px 3px #EEF3F7;
}
.Section__item:hover {
background-color: #E3F4FE;
cursor: pointer;
}
.Section__item__title {
text-align: left;
color: black;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 900;
}
.Section__item__image {
margin-top: 5px;
vertical-align: top;
}
.Section__item__icon {
font-size: 40px;
float: right;
}
<div class="Section__item">
<div class="Section__item__title">Title</div>
<div>
<img class="Section__item__image" width="120" height="120">
<i class="Section__item__icon icon-right-nav-workflow">Icon</i>
</div>
<div class="Section__item__text">This is a descritption</div>

Div tag border with title

I need to display a border around a div tag with a title in the border itself. In order to do this, this is what I have come up with so far
.componentWrapper {
border: solid cadetblue;
border-radius: 40px;
padding: 10px;
width: 95%;
}
.componentTitle {
font-size: 18px;
width: 15%;
background-color: white;
margin-top: -25px;
}
<div class='componentWraper'><p class='componentTitle'>This is the title</p>This is the component body text</div>
As you can see I am using margin property to push the title up on top of the border. I am not sure if this is the proper approach to do this and I have the following questions.
I am positioning the title using pixels (margin) and a fixed value (-25px). This is a site that has to work on mobile phones, tablets as well. Is this an acceptable approach?
I am setting the background-color to white so that the border does not appear behind the text, is this an ok approach?
Is there a better and more acceptable way to do this, I do not want to use fieldset because we have little control over the border (border-radius).
There are three logical ways you can use to achieve this.
You can use a <fieldset> with a legend which is the basic HTML way of doing this. You can find more information about this here.
Use custom CSS with positioning, not negative margins or etc.:
body {
background: #fff;
}
.componentWraper {
margin: 40px; /* just for contrast */
position: relative;
border: 2px solid tomato;
border-radius: 12px;
padding: 20px;
}
.componentWraper .componentTitle {
position: absolute;
top: -25px;
background: #fff;
padding: 0 10px;
}
<div class='componentWraper'>
<p class='componentTitle'>This is the title</p>This is the component body text</div>
Use custom CSS with pseudo-elements:
body {
background: #fff;
}
.componentWraper {
margin: 40px; /* just for contrast */
position: relative;
border: 2px solid tomato;
border-radius: 12px;
padding: 20px;
}
.componentWraper::before {
content: 'This is the title';
position: absolute;
top: -10px;
padding: 0 10px;
background: #fff;
}
<div class='componentWraper'>This is the component body text</div>
I think you're on the right track. I'd make a few changes to have more control over the styling. You can use ems or pixels.
Wrap the title and content in a new div and give that a negative margin:
<div class='componentWrapper'>
<div>
<div class='componentTitle'>This is the title</div>
<div class='componentContent'>
<p>This is the component body text</p>
</div>
</div>
.componentWrapper div {
margin-top: -1em;
}
Set your title to display: inline-block and use padding to control the white space around it (instead of using width)
.componentTitle {
font-size: 18px;
background-color: white;
display: inline-block;
padding: .5em;
}
codepen
snippet:
.componentWrapper {
border: solid cadetblue;
border-radius: 40px;
padding: 10px;
width: 95%;
margin-top: 1em;
}
.componentWrapper div {
margin-top: -1.2em;
}
.componentTitle {
font-size: 18px;
background-color: white;
display: inline-block;
padding: .5em .3em;
}
<div class='componentWrapper'>
<div>
<div class='componentTitle'>This is the title</div>
<div class='componentContent'>
<p>This is the component body text</p>
</div>
</div>
This is what I came up with. I wanted to get rid of the negative margin, but couldn't figure out a way to do that.
See the Pen offset title by Yvonne Aburrow (#vogelbeere) on CodePen.
HTML
<div class="componentWrapper">This is the component body text</div>
CSS
.componentWrapper {
border: 1px solid blue;
border-radius: 40px;
padding: 16px;
width: 95%;
margin: 3em;
}
.componentWrapper:before {
content: "this is the title";
font-size: 18px;
width: 10%;
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid blue;
border-radius: 12px;
display: block;
margin-top: -29px;
padding: 3px;
}
I am not sure how a screen reader would deal with the title text being in the CSS (or how you would scale that up if you have a lot of different titles.

Text pushes <div> down

I'm creating a small shop in simple html. Each buyable item has its own box where I will later insert the item's name and picture.
My problem however, is when I enter an item name that takes 2 rows or more to fit, because then all other boxes get pushed down as well:
I have some 500 rows of code so I will just paste what I think is relevant to the problem:
CSS:
.packitem{
background-image: url("");
position: relative;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid;
border-radius: 10px;
padding: 4px;
margin: 12px 3px 0 3px;
display: inline-block;
}
.packitem a.boxlink{
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
text-decoration: none; /* No underlines on the link */
z-index: 10; /* Places the link above everything else in the div */
background-color: #FFF; /* Fix to make div clickable in IE */
opacity: 0; /* Fix to make div clickable in IE */
filter: alpha(opacity=1); /* Fix to make div clickable in IE */
}
.boxtext{
font-size: 16px;
font-family: verdana;
color: #fff;
vertical-align: top;
}
HTML:
<div class="packages1">
<div><font class="packfont">Packages</font></div>
<div class="packitem">
<div id="pack1" class="white_content">
<font class="descriptiontitle">Item 1</font>
<p class="descriptiontext">Dummy text</p>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="document.getElementById('pack1').style.display='none';document.getElementById('fade').style.display='none'">
<p class="closelink">Close</p>
</a>
</div>
<font class="boxtext">Item 1</font>
</div>
I managed to fix the issue by having display: inline-flex instead of display: inline-block, but that messed text-alignment up.
Any ideas of what's wrong?
Thanks.
You are close but vertical-align: top; should be applied to the items that are to align.
In your case this should be the boxes
.packitem{
background-image: url("http://www.dedicatedrejects.com/pics/blockblue.jpg");
position: relative;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid;
border-radius: 10px;
padding: 4px;
margin: 12px 3px 0 3px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
BTW: <font class="descriptiontitle">Item 1</font> should not be used...it's invalid HTML

Can't properly set vertical-align

My problem: want to div content be in the middle of parent div.
CSS structure:
<div class= 'sign_in'>
<div class= 'sing_form'>
</div>
<div class='fb_sign'>
</div>
</div>
Basically it is sing-in window, on the right it is email/pass form, on the left - fb login button, and this button I want to be in the middle, but it works with top, works with bottom, on vertical-align:middle it again on the bottom.
CSS:
.sign_in {
position: absolute;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 2px;
border-color: #c1ffc6;
background: #fff;
padding: 2%;
width: 30%;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
z-index: 9999999;
font-size: 14px;
}
.sings_form{
display: inline-block;
border-right-style: solid;
padding-right: 10%;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #c1ffc6;
}
.fb_sing {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
margin-left: 10%;
}
Fix your class names.
sing_form is in your html
sings_form is in your css
fb_sign is in your html
fb_sing is in your css

How can I allow div to float outside the main container

I am working on WP using a template and I'm trying to get a button to float outside the main container. I went through some already posted questions here, but no luck.
I have tried with padding, margin, overflow, etc. The one thing that seems to work is by setting negative margin, but in that case the div is hidden by the main container.
Here's the HTML:
<div class="purchase_options_meta clearfix">
<div class="purchase_options">
<div id="deal_attributes_wrap" class="section ">
</div>
<div class="buy_button gb_ff font_x_large">
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here's the CSS I'm using:
.container.main {
width: 980px;
padding: 20px;
overflow: visible;
}
.purchase_options {
position: relative;
}
.buy_button {
position: absolute;
background: url(http://topgreekgyms.fitnessforum.gr/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Button12.png) no-repeat center;
color: white;
height: 100px;
width: 375px;
left: -54px;
top: -16px;
}
.button {
background-color: transparent;
color: #ffffff;
}
.button:hover {
background-color: transparent;
color: #cccccc;
}
.buy_button a {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 29px;
font-family: arial;
padding: 12px;
display: block;
white-space: nowrap;
position: relative;
margin: 15px 0 0 50px;
}
.buy_button a span {
position: absolute;
right: 33px;
padding: 0 5px;
}
And here's a link to the page. My problem is with the top red button at the left.
I would greatly appreciate any help!
Just in case that helps someone in the future:
I had to add this part of CSS in my code:
#deal_single.clearfix:after {
clear: both !important;
}
Just to be more specific '#deal_single' is the page id.
