i want my div of menu to appear on the top left of the div for my header image. The backgrounds used for the menu blocks are transparent and translucent and i want that the image of the header should be visible under through translucent and transparent backgrounds.. How can i do it using css??
the class for div of menu is divmenu and for header is divmainimg
div.divmainimg {
position: relative;
}
div.divmenu {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
Consider changing the class names to mainimg and menu, respectively.
Set position: relative; on the parent object of your menus that you want them to be positioned relative to, and set position: absolute; on the menu divs. Often you can get away without specifying the exact position - if the divs appear in the DOM where you want them to be visually. E.g. this could be enough:
body {
position: relative;
}
div.menu {
position: absolute;
}
Edit: Forget about z-index for now - it is rarely needed.
HTH
try to use absolute position, and set a high z-index for the div you want over others..
You could also now Just simply put the div you want to be over the other div inside the div you want to be under for example:
pretend your div class="a" is the one you want on top, Then div class="b" you want on bottom.
that would put A on top then B under it.
I believe what you are wanting is z-index. Rather than explaining it here, just do a Google search for it. It is simple to understand.

I have this UI element that opens a tooltip/popover thing when clicked. I would like the tooltip window to appear right below the UI element, but on mobile it should be aligned to the left and right side of the viewport instead of being centered under the "more…" button.
In other words, I would like to have:
.tooltip {
top: 100%; // appear right below the button
left: 10px; // 10px *from the edge of the window*
}
Is there a way to mix referentials like this? Have the top position be calculated based on a parent, while left and right are calculated based on the viewport?
(by the way I know I can do this with JavaScript but I wanted to look for a pure CSS solution first)
The best solution I have so far is to make sure that the parent that has position: relative and acts at the referential for the absolutely positioned tooltip spans the whole width of the viewport. This works but it means the tooltip can't just be a drop-in component that can be added anywhere in your app, which is what I was trying to achieve.
It’s possible with an extra parent element around the tooltip to position it vertically.
Working demo: https://codepen.io/paweldecowski/pen/vYXaXvN
<span>Anchor
<div class="tooltip-parent">
<div class="tooltip">Tooltip</div>
</div>
</span>
.tooltip-parent {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
.tooltip {
left: 10px;
position: relative;
}
Edit:
Actually, this will work without the parent element, too. Just position the tooltip absolutely:
.tooltip {
left: 10px;
position: absolute;
}
The tooltip will by default stick to the bottom of the anchor. Of course, you won’t be able to use top or bottom properties because they will be relative to the viewport, but you can adjust the vertical position with margin.
I have this problem that is driving me mad... I've been struggling with it for hours but can't figure out how to over come it.
I am using jqDock and want to place a toolbar in a "box" in a column. There is quite a lot of code included but you can see a sample here: http://ag.wasen.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=2&Itemid=17
Look at "Simple File Lister v2.0 #2" in the right hand side column where the toolbar is perfectly place. Then look at the left hand side where the toolbar goes vertical and is completely off track.
These two modules (as they are called in Joomla) is using the exact same code!
The difference between these two modules, the left one and the right is that the left one inherits a lot of CSS from the "div" statements in the left column.
The problem seems to be with the inherited "width" from a previously loaded CSS file. If I look at it in FireBug and remove the declaration for #leftcolumn div {width: 191px;} in FireBug the toolbar on the left is working fine.
I have tried to insert my own "width" on all different DIV's and using "!important" but even if FireBug shows the "#leftcolumn div" as stiked-out it still affects my toolbar DIV.
Regardless of how I have tried to "nullify" the inherited "#leftcolumn div" width it still affects my DIV.
Any clues on how I would be rid of it?

Anders
Try the below css - Paste this in you template.css file and try to set the width if required on different selectors.
#main_bg #leftcolumn div.module_menu div div div, #main_bg #leftcolumn div.module div div .jqDocked div {
width: 20px;
}
see below image for output: Open the image in new window so you can see clearly.
Problem 1. You are trying to fit a horizontal Dock that has a maximum expanded width of 263px (7 48x48 icons) into a column that is only 191px wide: the Dock is going to overflow!
Problem 2. The template you are using is setting a specific width of 191px on any div more than 1 level below the div.module child of div#leftcolumn. Additionally, your template is specifiying both width and padding on some elements, which is going to cause cross-browser inconsistency and also makes some of the elements extend beyond the bounds of the column.
Since jqDock does not provide many ids on elements, the rules needed in order to override your template are going to have to be at least as 'specific' as the template's, if not more so.
For example, replace your page's rules for...
.sflpage {...}
.sflmenu {...}
#main_bg #leftcolumn div.module_menu div div div,
#main_bg #leftcolumn div.module div div {...}
with...
/*position the Dock's container, ensuring it's visible, and killing
the padding imposed by the template...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.sflpage {
padding: 0pt;
position: relative;
top: -20px;
width: auto;
z-index: 9999;
}
/*put the Dock in the center of its container, and give it plenty
of width for a fully-expanded Dock...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked {
left: 50%;
margin-left: -150px;
padding: 0px 0pt;
position: absolute;
top: 0pt;
width: 300px;
}
/*kill the width and padding imposed by the template...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked div {
width: auto;
padding: 0;
}
/*center the dock...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked .jqDockWrap {
margin: 0pt auto;
}
/*use this to set/tweak the label's styling...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked .jqDockLabelText {
}
I would also suggest that you need more horizontal space for the Dock (ie. between the module header and the file list), that your labels need better styling so that are visible and readable.
I'm really not sure how to word this question, but here goes... I have a navigation bar at the top of my web page with a position of "fixed" so that it stays at the top even if I scroll down. However, I have a box that will hold all of my text/blogs that overlaps with this navigation bar whenever I scroll down.
Is there a way to "delete" a few pixels of the box (the one that holds all of my stuff) so that the navigation bar never overlaps with it? I'm sorry if this is confusing, but like I said, I'm not sure how to word it.
Screenshots:
When I'm not scrolled down-
When I am (overlapping)-
So I want to get rid of the overlapped area of my content container (and maybe 5px below it).
The other answers are spot on. I'd check the margins, and the overflow setting.
If the div's have absolute, relative, or fixed positioning, you can also play around with the z-index.
The higher the value of the z-index, the higher up in the stack an element is. So an element with a z-index of 2 will be displayed in front of an element with a z-index of 1.
On the box that contains your main content, add a margin-top equal to the height of the navigation bar. For example, if this is your html:
<div id="navbar">...</div>
<div id="content">...</div>
Then your css would be something like this:
#navbar {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 50px;
}
#content {
margin-top: 50px;
}
Ok, thanks for the screen shots.
#navbar_id {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 50px;
z-index: 25;
}
#main_stuff_id {
z-index: 24;
/*other
style
rules*/
}
keep in mind the "css box model" too: http://www.w3schools.com/css/box-model.gif
It sounds like you want to enforce a margin on an element with position: fixed; set. I don't think this will work, but you could put a fixed-position container around the element which you want to actually be fixed. This container can have padding, which will then give the desired effect.
<div style="position:fixed;padding:16px;background-color:#fff;width:100%;box-sizing:border-box">
<!-- don't fix the inner element -->
<div style="background-color:red">The content you want to be fixed.</div>
</div>

Or if you are using position you can then use top: #px; and left: #px
I have a header, mainbody and footer. Header and mainbody are properly styled. Now for footer I want to make it appear behind mainbody, so I used:
z-index: -1;
position: relative;
top: -60px;
This gives the desired result, but I get an extra space of 60px at the bottom.
How do I clear this extra space?
Paul is correct. margin-top: -60px; instead of top: -60px;. Another possible solution would be to set the "mainbody" to position: relative; then to use position: absolute; bottom: 60px; on the footer - although this woild mean the footer needs to be moved inside "mainbody". though as long as the parent of footer flows with "mainbody" you could use this same trick on that element instead.
The “extra” space at the bottom is the space that the footer would be taking up. Relatively positioned elements still take up the same space in the page’s layout flow, even though they’re appearing somewhere else.
You could try a negative bottom margin on your mainbody. You may find this means you don’t need top: -60px; on your footer.
You can still use:
position: relative;
top: -60px;
for the section you need but set
margin-top: -60px;
to section which appears next. In this case - footer.
another solution for this is:
z-index: -1;
position: relative;
top: -60px;
margin-bottom: -60px;
top creates extra margin and margin-bottom removes it
for some reason for h tag only this worked for me. negative margin-top doesnt work
One way to achieve that would be to put the div inside another, absolute'ly positioned div so that it's taken out of the document flow.
Not really a direct answer to your question, but depending on what you want to display behind the main content, you can perhaps just fake it.
If it´s an image, you can simply put it in html {} or body {} (or a div that encapsulates all content) and align it to the bottom.
The appropriate answer is to make the body have position relative then style what you want to style using position absolute and using top of your choice
I'm trying to accomplish the following layout,
http://www.rae-mx.com/test/css-layout.jpg
and I'm almost there, except for the last green div, which is going lower and lower depending on the content of the content (white) div. If I set a value for the TOP property for the green div, and then I add some more text to the content div, the green div goes lower and lower.
Since the green div is child to the main container div, and the green div is relatively positioned, isn't it supposed to be placed specifically at the position indicated by the TOP value of it? If I'm incorrect...can someone please tell me how can i make it so that the green div is always displayed at the same spot within the container (gray) div, regardless of the height of the content/white div?
I tried to paste the css code here but was having problems with the brower. you can see the test site source/css at http://www.rae-mx.com/test
tia for the help.
I think you're misunderstanding how relative positioning works. If something is marked as position: relative then that does nothing to that element's positioning. However any descendant elements with position: absolute are positioning relative to that element.
So a basic skeleton for what you want is:
#main { position: relative; }
#menu { position: absolute; top: 10; right: 10; }
#content { position: absolute; top: 30; }
#contact { position: absolute; top: 180; right: 10; }
Take a look at Absolute and Relative Positioning. This is called relative+absolute positioning.
If you want something positioned at the same place, use position:absolute instead. Position: relative is used to move the element after it have been placed in the normal flow.
And remember: With position:absolute 0,0 is the upper left corner of the first(closest to the element, when walking from the element and to the root) parent with position:relative or position:absolute
