vb.org Archive - position:absolute

Please stop bumping your posts within a day of posting. It takes more then that for most of the community's avid helpers to even look at vbulletin templates, let alone a specific thread.

As for the problem, just use this in a css definition

Code:

position: absolute;

9.3.1 Choosing a positioning scheme: 'position' property

The 'position' and 'float' properties determine which of the CSS2 positioning algorithms is used to calculate the position of a box.

'position' Value: static | relative | absolute | fixed | inherit Initial: static Applies to: all elements, but not to generated content Inherited: no Percentages: N/A Media: visual
The values of this property have the following meanings:

static The box is a normal box, laid out according to the normal flow. The 'left' and 'top' properties do not apply.

relative The box's position is calculated according to the normal flow (this is called the position in normal flow). Then the box is offset relative to its normal position. When a box B is relatively positioned, the position of the following box is calculated as though B were not offset.

absolute The box's position (and possibly size) is specified with the 'left', 'right', 'top', and 'bottom' properties. These properties specify offsets with respect to the box's containing block. Absolutely positioned boxes are taken out of the normal flow. This means they have no impact on the layout of later siblings. Also, though absolutely positioned boxes have margins, they do not collapse with any other margins.

fixed The box's position is calculated according to the 'absolute' model, but in addition, the box is fixed with respect to some reference. In the case of continuous media, the box is fixed with respect to the viewport (and doesn't move when scrolled). In the case of paged media, the box is fixed with respect to the page, even if that page is seen through a viewport (in the case of a print-preview, for example). Authors may wish to specify 'fixed' in a media-dependent way. For instance, an author may want a box to remain at the top of the viewport on the screen, but not at the top of each printed page. The two specifications may be separated by using an @media rule, as in: Example(s):

@media screen {
H1#first { position: fixed }
}
@media print {
H1#first { position: static }
}
