I have a Header/navigation bar on a site, it has a logo, navigation menu, and search box all in-line in that order
So the logo is on the left, followed by the nav menu and the the search box to the right.
The search box is aligned using position: relative; the problem is it is positioned relative to the nav menu which is the div before the search box.
The reason that is a problem, is because the nav menu can be of different sizes, depending on which menu items it is showing.
I need a reliable way to position my search box, is there a way to position a Div relative to a certain Div and not just the Div that is directly before it?
In the image the search box should be positioned over the sidebar, but like I mentioned the nav menu can be of different lengths so If I position relative X off of it, it will be different depending on the width of that menu
Put a wrapper around your nav menu and give it a fixed width.
Try having your nav and search inside of a single div, then use absolute positioning for the search.

I'm working on a static site that has a side nav on some pages and the nav is meant to stick to the bottom of the screen while scrolling. How can I get the nav to stop sticking at the bottom of the parent container? The nav should stay inside the parent.
Right now it continues to stick even after the container is out of view and eventually overlaps the footer.
Here's the demo site:

Your element has the attribute "fixed-bottom" as one of its classes. This will affix the y-axis placement of your navigational element to the bottom of the screen, not to the bottom of the parent container.
There are a couple of things you can do to clean this up. If you just want it not to overlap, you can add padding to the bottom of your element; I found that padding it with 100px worked cleanly as in the picture below.
You may also look to affix it to the actual parent container with usage of the "relative" tag, the solution of which is discussed in various other posts on this site:
Fixed position but relative to container
I got a navigation menu as image. I made a nav div with the image as background and a fixed width and height. Now in the little boxes under the lines I want nav links. So what I did is I made multiple divs in the nav div and positioned them in the little boxes. So they are all positioned perfectly inside firefox but, unfortunately in other browsers like chrome they have different positions (nothing extreme, but they arent perfectly aligned in the little boxes).
What I thought was that whenever you have a certain fixed height and width of the container div. The margins of the child divs will be the same on all browsers and screen sizes as they will always be the same size. How is this possible and what would be the best options to make this nav menu possible?
Try use this http://www.image-maps.com/ ... image maping tool lets you to set link coordinates.
If you know where these boxes are located pixel-wise in the background image, you could absolute position the nav divs and get them precisely where you want using top and left based on pixels of the parent div (with the image) instead of using margins.
I have a div (it's a popup for an openlayers map, but it could pretty much be any fixed size div), that contains a jquery ui menu (which is wrapped in a ul). The menu doesn't fit inside the div very well, so I'd like to make the menu float above it so that as the menu grows I don't have to grow the size of the containing div. Is this possible?
The containing div is itself positioned absolutely, I've tried setting the ul that represents the menu to position:absolute;z-index:100 but that doesn't work. I've also tried setting overflow:visible with no joy.
This screenshot shows the issue I have:
I've added a jsfiddle that opens a popup when you click the small orange circle, and you can see that the menu inside there is bigger than the containing div.
If you tell me that my answer is not what you mean I will delete it cause I am not sure what you really need to do. You want this scrolls to disappear and if the text is bigger than the popup just to float over no matter it is going outline ?
If this is what you want you have to remove the overflow: auto from .olFramedCloudPopupContent and again to remove overflow: auto from inline style of the element #chicken_contentDiv (I am not sure that you add it with jQuery).
I'm having a problem trying to achieve a navigation design I made.
Please see this link to have a look at the example http://lab.518studio.com/submenu
So as you will see I'm trying to have a full width submenu background, I used the position:absolute; but it presents me two new problems:
I cant get the sub-items aligned with the main item.
Content below it will not move down when it displays.
Basically what I want to do is to get the position of parent items under the correspondent main item and have the content below it moving when submenu is displayed.
I placed a link on the URL to download the HTML and CSS files.
Make the menu li position:relative and give submenu ul a width
I have my menu working the way I want with the exception that menu elements are displayed from the top down as supposed to bottom up. I tried changing the CSS properties, but still can't get it working. I need my DIV container to be align on the bottom of the parent container. I used 'bottom: 0' CSS property but that doesn't have any affect using both 'position: absolute' and 'position: relative'.
How can I align all the elements within the parent DIV be displayed at bottom: 0 (bottom up)?
Then click on the Projects bottom link (refresh if you need to reset the menu items). I need that same behaviour I already have, just the menu items should start from the bottom up and be aligned all the way to the bottom.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

The best way to accomplish this is to either put the divs inside the sought after parent element. Ergo the <li> you want to associate these links with. Give the parent <li> a style of position:relative. The on hover set the position of the child div or li to abosulte and left:0;top:0;. Then from there you can style it closer or farther with margin.
Try using padding-top to push them down with an id or class on each sub menu.
Then if that fails, try using min-height: auto; on each parent.
