It works in chrome , and not in ff/opera.
Demo here: http://booksnearby.in/browse_items.php . The 'location: Dhoolsiras Village, delhi' line 'hangs' in the middle. I am trying to make it stay at the bottom of its container.
For this I tried
Child span tag- {
bottom: -5px;
font-size: 11px;
left: 115px;
line-height: 20px;
position: absolute;
}
Parent:- element.style {
height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
But it doesn't work, except in chrome. Please help
Thanks.
Do you have to use a table? Because your problems come from the td element's height. Tables have the worst cross browsers support out of all the html elements :)
Is it possible to change the structure to use div elements instead?
OR you could give the position: relative to your .listtd instead of the div (which means remove the position property from the div). This solution will do the trick.

I am trying to make a simple html site:
http://www.williamcharlesriding.com/test/index3.html
The problem is the buttons, which are png's and I am trying to position over the various areas of the background image, using css like this:
.but1 {
opacity:0;
filter:alpha(opacity=0);
position:fixed;
top:463px;
left:36px;
}
However I have noticed in different browsers and depending on the zoom factor the buttons can be way off their intended mark. Any advice on this would be appreciated,
Thanks
Set your .content container to position: relative and change each button div from position: fixed to position: absolute. The relative position on the container will make the absolute position relative to your div, rather than the browser.
.content {
padding: 10px 0;
background-color: #5a5958;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
position: relative;
}
I would probably add another class to each, so you could do something like this:
<div class="but but1">
<div class="but but2">
.but { position: absolute; }
.but1 { top: 463px; left: 36px; }
Normalize.css might help, it contains default CSS for all browsers. Be sure to include it before your main CSS. Sorry, as the other answer states the problem is that you are positioning relative to the browser window, not the parent element.
I have an absolute positioned logo on the bottom left of my website... BUT the problem is that ive positioned it to stick to the right of the page but it leaves a invisible barrier to the left of it that spreads across the page. So lets say a link is placed in alignment with that footer element, I won't be able to click it, the absolute positioned layer is spreading over it (even though nothings in it)
Heres my CSS for the logos position:
#basemenu {
margin-right: auto;
position: fixed;
bottom:0px;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
text-align:right;
right:1%;
}
It sounds like you have an img inside of a <div id='basemenu'></div>. Is that right?
We could really use a block of HTML if you wouldn't mind posting it.
What I don't understand is why you can't target the logo itself with a bit of CSS like this:
#basemenu img {
height: 40px;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
Use the following block property display : none; to hide the block
I'm confused here... Here's my site that I'm working on: http://s361608839.websitehome.co.uk/marbleenergy/
The div #main is sitting about 10px below #navigation and I've tried bringing it up 10px by adding:
#main {
margin-top: -10px;
}
Had no luck there unfortunately. I'm learning CSS here, what is it I need to do?
Thanks
using absolute positioning isn't so flexible since you're aligning your div's in hard pixel measure. This will probably cause some error on several browser
Use relative positioning instead, and use top attribute to lift that div up
this is the code
#main{ position: relative; top: -10px; }
Add the following to the #main div
#main {
position: relative;
top:-10px;
}
position: relative; Will position the element relative to where it normally sits and aligning -10px from where it would sit will bring it into the gap you have made in your menu div. Haven't checked your site but can't see any reason why this won't work. I prefer not to set my elements to position: absolute; as the above member answered as any content under the div will be pulled up under the absolutely positioned div.
As the other answer more clearly details, you need to make sure that positioning is absolute, in order for any 'px' CSS specification to make sense, if not, it defaults to relative (to nearest parent container) I believe.
USE
#main {
position relative;
margin-top:-10px;
}
See Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/rathoreahsan/fSDpJ/
I browse your website in your case you need to use the following css:
#main {
position absolute;
margin:-10px 0 0 12px;
}
OR
#main {
position relative;
margin:0 0 0 12px;
top: -10px;
}
Is there anyway for an absolute positioned child to expand to fill its relative positioned parent? (The height of parent is not fixed)
Here is what i did and it is working fine with Firefox and IE7 but not IE6. :(
<div id="parent">
<div id="child1"></div>
</div>
#parent { position: relative; width: 200px; height:100%; background:red }
#child1 { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 200px; height: 100%; background:blue }
That's easy. The trick is setting top: 0px and bottom: 0px at the same time
Here's the working code
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
#parent {
display: block;
background-color: #ff0;
border: 1px solid #f00;
position: relative;
width: 200px;
height: 100%;
}
#child1 {
background-color: #f00;
display: block;
border: 1px solid #ff0;
position: absolute;
left: 200px;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
}

If I remember correctly there is a bug with how IE6 handles div height. It will only create the div to the height needed to contain the content within it when height is set to 100%. I would recommend two approaches:
Don't worry about supporting IE6 as it is a dead browser anyway
If that doesn't work, use something like jQuery to get the height of the parent div and then set the child div to that height.
fake it by setting the backgrounds to be the same colour so no-one notices the difference
You can achieve this with setting both the top and bottom attributes of the child.
See how this is done
At the bottom of that article, there is a link to Dean Edwards' IE7 (and IE8) js library that you should include for IE6 visitors. It is a JS library that actually MAKES IE6 behave like IE7 (or 8) when you include it. Sweet!

As far as I know, there is no way of expanding a parent element around an absolutely positioned child element. By making the child element absolutely positioned your are removing it from the regular flow of page items.
I recently built a 2-column website where the right column was absolutely positioned but the left column was not. If the left column had less content and a smaller height than the right column, the page would cut off the right column since it was absolutely positioned.
In order to resolve this, I had to determine if the height of the right column was greater than the height of the left column and if so set the height of the parent div height to the greater of the two.
Here is my jQuery solution. I'm not much of a coder so feel free to tweak this:
jQuery(function(){
var rightColHeight = jQuery('div.right_column').height();
var leftColHeight = jQuery('div.left_column').height();
if (rightColHeight > leftColHeight){
jQuery('.content_wrap').height(rightColHeight+'px');
}
});
I have placed an absolutely positioned element (header) after relatively positioned element (body content). Due to some reason and this works fine in all the browsers except IE8.
The header is overlapping the content element with not positioned at its absolute position.
The css rules I have used:
#bodyContent{
clear: both;
display: table;
width: 920px;
margin-top: 173px;
_margin-top: 178px;
position: relative;
}
#headerContainer {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left:0px;
}
The header part is rendering from the content element postition with space in its position.
Is this the bug in IE8? Can anyone help me sort out this issue?
This sounds like an old IE7 bug.. can you place an element between them? That fixed it for me.
I've also had similar problems. I used the float command which solved the issue. Try float: left; in #headerContainer
