Position absolute but relative to parent

Position Absolute but Relative to Parent: A Simple Guide 😎📝

Have you ever found yourself needing to position two child divs inside a parent div, but wanted them to be positioned relative to the parent div rather than the entire page? 🤔 Fear not, because we have the solution for you! In this blog post, we'll address this common issue and provide you with easy solutions to achieve the desired positioning. So let's dive in and make your divs dance to your tune! 💃🕺

The Problem Explained 🧩

Let's take a look at the scenario at hand. You have a parent div with two child divs inside it. You want to position one child div at the top right corner of the parent div and the other child div at the bottom of the parent div. Easy, right? And it gets even easier when you know the right CSS technique to use! 🎉

The CSS Solution 💡

To achieve the desired positioning, we'll be using a combination of position: relative on the parent div and position: absolute on the child divs. So let's modify the HTML code provided to include some CSS magic! ✨

<div id="father">
   <div id="son1"></div>
   <div id="son2"></div>
</div>
#father {
  position: relative; /* Makes the parent div the reference point */
}

#son1 {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
}

#son2 {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
}

Understanding the Solution 🕵️‍♀️

By setting the position of the parent div to relative, we establish it as the reference point for absolutely positioned child elements. This allows us to position the child divs based on their relationship to the parent div. Pretty cool, huh? 😎

For the first child div (#son1), we set its top property to 0 and its right property to 0. This ensures that it is positioned at the top right corner of the parent div.

As for the second child div (#son2), we only set its bottom property to 0, allowing it to naturally position itself at the bottom of the parent div.

Feel free to customize the positions according to your specific needs! 🎨

Your Turn to Try! 🚀

Now that you understand how to achieve relative positioning with absolute positioning, it's time for you to give it a try! Experiment with different values for top, right, bottom, and left properties to position your child divs exactly where you want them to be. Get creative! 🎨
