Is there any way I can postion DIV relative to text INPUT?
<input type="text" id="inp" style="padding-left: 20px" data-kb="GE" />
<div>GE</div>
I want to position DIV on top of input field, before text.
I know I can put both of them in same div and postion it relative to it, but I want to know, is there any way to do it without additional DIV.
Edit:
I forgot to mention that there may be multiple nodes in a parent node of my input field, so positioning my div("GE") relative to parent is not a way to go, because I can not determine position of input inside its parent. I'm specifically looking for a way to position one node relative to other, when that particular element is a single tag and can not have any children.
You can accomplish this by applying a negative margin-top: to your div:
div {
margin-top: -16px;
}
Check out this JSFiddle.
For what I've researched there is no direct solution to my problem. Because input is a single tag, It can not have any children nodes and because of that, It can not be rendered relative to input tag.
I guess the only solution would be either with complex javascript or jQuery (.postion()). If solving this problem was absolutely necessary you would have to find postion of input and place div relative to it, but then again, it is not a good solution, because if input field gets moved div will stay in the same place, unless you listen to that particular DOM mutation (I don't even know if it's possible).
That is what I've learned so far, I wish to be wrong, so If someone proves me wrong, i would be pleased :)

It seems to be difficult to position elements over a google map. Using z-index does not solve the problem which is described below: Google Maps will stay on top of some other elements even when using high z-indexes.
The question is:
Is it possible to have a div cover parts of a google map?
I have the following popup:
But when i move this popup up to appear over the map, it gets hidden:
How to force something to be the top most, always displayed object on screen?
I have tried setting the z-index on my CSS property sheet, but this did not work.
Is there some HTML/CSS property i can set so that the popup, which is a DIV, actually always sets on top of everything else?
z-index is not that simple friend. It doesn't actually matter if you put z-index:999999999999..... But it matters WHEN you gave it that z-index. Different dom-elements take precedence over each other as well.
I did one solution where I used jQuery to modify the elements css, and gave it the z-index only when I needed the element to be on top. That way we can be sure that the z-index of this item has been given last and the index will be noted. This one requires some action to be handled though, but in your case it seems to be possible.
Not sure if this works, but you could try giving the !important parameter too:
#desired_element { z-index: 99 !important; }
Edit: Adding a quote from the link for quick clarification:
First of all, z-index only works on positioned elements. If you try to set a z-index on an element with no position specified, it will do nothing. Secondly, z-index values can create stacking contexts, and now suddenly what seemed simple just got a lot more complicated.
Adding the z-index for the element via jQuery, gives the element different stacking context, and thus it tends to work. I do not recommend this, but try to keep the html and css in a such order that all elements are predictable.
The provided link is a must read. Stacking order etc. of html elements was something I was not aware as a newbie coder and that article cleared it for me pretty good.

Try setting position to absolute, ie.
#yourDiv{
position: absolute;
z-index: 10;
};
Are you using position: relative?
Try to set position: relative and then z-index because you want this div has a z-index in relation with other div.
By the way, your browser is important to check if it working or not. Neither IE or Firefox is a good one.
you should use position:fixed to make z-index values to apply to your div
Set the DIV's z-index to one larger than the other DIVs. You'll also need to make sure the DIV has a position other than static set on it, too.
CSS:
#someDiv {
z-index:9;
}

One form to do this is insert the panel that you want to expand inside a DIV setted as relative: let me show you:
<div style="position:relative">
<div style="position:absolute; z-index: 1000;">
your code
</div>
</div>
You use the first div to position the inner content in a specific area inside your page and the second absolute should be referred to the container (because is relative) The z-index in this case is referred also to container and if it higher that the container should be at top. You can put the style in a CSS class and change the size of the absolute div to expand it on hover or another action that you want to control.
I hope that this help
dropdowns always show up on top, only solution for this problem is to hide dropdowns when image is displayed (display:block or visibility:visibile) and show them when image hidden (display:none or visibility:hidden)
The best way to illustrate this question is with...a Fiddle! Before you visit the fiddle, notice there is text behind the grayest element, which is on top of a light gray element that has a border.
There is a main wrapping div (root), and two wrapping divs inside (wrap1 and wrap2). The problem here is that I need the content of wrap2 (highlight) to be behind the content of wrap1 (text), but in front of the background of the root.
This, however, must not change:
The HTML, the elements and wraps should be left untouched. Excluding the order of wrap1 and wrap2 inside root.
The highlight div must keep the absolute positioning.
Styling highlight with background-color is not an option, the existence of highlight is a must.
PS: the italics reference the id's of <div>s in the fiddle example, for whomever was too lazy to visit it.
I was able to display the text in front of the highlight by adding a z-index to text. (Adding the z-index to wrap1 also works.) The trick is to remember that z-index doesn't apply to statically-positioned elements, so you need to give the same div position: relative.
#text {
position: relative;
z-index: 1000;
}
(Large z-index because I've been bitten by IE not respecting low values in the past. May or may not still be an issue. ;-)
z-index can be difficult to grasp. I think somebody already answered your question, but if you want to learn more how they work, this is a pretty comprehensive guide:
http://www.onextrapixel.com/2009/05/29/an-indepth-coverage-on-css-layers-z-index-relative-and-absolute-positioning/
And also, here is a link where you can try out different z-index and how they are affected by different position properties (the main reason for difficulty)

#wrap1{position:absolute;z-index:2;}
Per customer request I need to put an image in a form (via cforms in wordpress).
As you really can't display images there, I just abused a label field like this:
01a Contact Information <img style ="height: 155px; width:668px; position:absolute; top:235px; left:617px;" src ="image.jpg" />
Problem is that once I use position: relative it will extend the borders of that fieldset, that's why I chose position: absolute.
Of course the page is centered and this creates problems with screen resolution.
I can't create a div around this as explained here.
See a screenshot
What's the best code to use this?
You don't need to place the position: relative on a element that is the immediate parent of the image you are working with here - it could be any of its parents, such as the form element, or the container for the entire centered page.
As long as the element you place position: relative is part of the page that is centered the AP (absolute positioned) element will take reference from that element, and your img will be centered like the rest of the page.
If you want us to provide alternatives to what you're doing, the you need to tell us clearly what you are trying to do. Putting an image there is as simple as including the tag, but clearly your problem has to do with positioning - so tell us what sort of positioning you need for that image. If I were to list out all possibilities it would be a very long list.
I am new to CSS, so please bear with me. I have this form which I'm trying to style. Everything works fine, except the confirmation label which is in a div. I want some space to be there between div.field, and while this works for all the input elements, it doesn't work for the label message which is at the bottom. I tried increasing margin-top, but to no avail. I would like that element to be positioned in the center.
Using the web-developer addon of Firefox, it shows me that the width and height of div.field of label tag specifically is 284px and 209px respectively. Why is this so, when I haven't set it that way?
You can view the code live at jsfiddle: http://www.jsfiddle.net/yMHJY/
The solution is simple, really. Add a margin-top to the parent of the label element, and add overflow: hidden to the div#contact div .field selector.
However, can I just say that the code can be rewritten for much better efficiency and semantic correctness. For instance, I would contain the last massage in a p tag and not a label in a div. Also, I would have each input element placed in an unordered list ul instead of divs. You also have a lot of unnecessary floats and the br at the end of each input is wholly uneeded. Oh, and unless you are embedding Calluna somehow, don't use it - stick to web safe fonts (and if you are, you still need to suggest an alternative, in the user's browser does not support it, and also to give the browser something to display while the font loads).
Edit
Fixed the load for ya, I should be paid for this kind of stuff :) Just stick to better HTML and CSS next time.

To center you could add a parent container
<div id="parent">
<label id="label">Your Message Has Been Sent</label>
</div>
div#parent {
text-align:center;
}
or add an id to your original parent div to target it with above css
with regards to the margin, you seem to have an issue with a float:left being set in the
div#contact div input[type=text] class. You need to clear this as it could be causing you margin problems. Try removing this and amending your styles. Why are you floating the inputs left?
Trying to style a CSS popup. I know there's libraries, I'm doing it by hand anyway.
<div class="labelDiv">
<span class="label helpText">Description</span>
<div id="activeHelpTip" class="helpTip messageBox">
Help text not defined for this field.
</div>
</div>
.labelDiv { float: left; position: relative; }
.helpTip
{
display: block;
position: absolute;
padding:2px;
max-width:350px;
z-index:1;
left: 5px;
top:22px;
}
.labelDiv is position rel so the absolute .helpTip is absolute relative to its owning labelDiv. AFAICT .helpTip must be absolute so it is ignored in normal page flow.
How do I get my tooltip to float over the input box to the right? I want it to float over everything except the edge of the browser.
http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/278/popupcss.png
First of all you'll need to give .labelDiv an overflow:visible. Can you give a more detailed HTML example or a link to this page?
-edit-
also the tooltip will need a width or at least min-width to make sure it doesn't adjust to the size of the containing div
Shouldn't you just adjust the top and left properties accordingly? What happens if you do?
EDIT
If your labels are set with, say 100px for simplicities sake, then adjusting the left to 100px will make the tooltip float over your input field. In this case there are two things to consider - you need to make sure your label div has overflow:visible and that it has a higher z-index than your input field.
If your label div is NOT set width you can adjust the right bound eg. right:0px which will put it on the right edge of the label. You can use negative numbers as well to make it break out of the label div in which case you will have to take the above two points into consideration as well.
We do need a little more info but try adding a z-index to the ".labelDiv" that is greater than the z-index of the input box. You may need to add a positioning to theinput box to make it accept z-index. I if it's a floated element I usually add "position:relative;float:left" to the element that I need lower but don't need to position it.
So my answer is z-index.
It should work.
EDIT
As faux paus as it might be. Would a negative right margin do the trick?
Couple of things, you should probably be using the <label> tag to declare the label for the input field. Using the title attribute on the input with the text of your tooltip will create the hover text you want over the input field and the browser will do all the work for you.
You guys were right, more HTML context was necessary. I ended up promoting the tooltip div all the way up to the body element, then manually positioning it relative to the appropriate label. I couldn't get the browser to do it for me without similar minor issues.
