I need assistance with overlaying one individual div
over another individual div
.
My code looks like this:
<div class="navi"></div>
<div id="infoi">
<img src="info_icon2.png" height="20" width="32"/>
</div>
Unfortunately I cannot nest the div#infoi
or the img
, inside the first div.navi
.
It has to be two separate div
s as shown but I need to know how I could place the div#infoi
over the div.navi
and to the right most side and centered on top of the div.navi
.

#container {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
}
#navi,
#infoi {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
#infoi {
z-index: 10;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="navi">a</div>
<div id="infoi">
<img src="https://appharbor.com/assets/images/stackoverflow-logo.png" height="20" width="32" />b
</div>
</div>
I would suggest learning about position: relative
and child elements with position: absolute
.

I am not much of a coder nor an expert in CSS but I am still using your idea in my web designs. I have tried different resolutions too:
#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 901px;
height: 100%;
background-color: #f7f7f7;
background-image: url(images/wrapperback.gif);
color: #000;
}
#header {
float: left;
width: 100.00%;
height: 122px;
background-color: #00314e;
background-image: url(images/header.jpg);
color: #fff;
}
#menu {
float: left;
padding-top: 20px;
margin-left: 495px;
width: 390px;
color: #f1f1f1;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<div id="menu">
menu will go here
</div>
</div>
</div>
Of course there will be a wrapper around both of them. You can control the location of the menu div which will be displayed within the header div with left margins and top positions. You can also set the div menu to float right if you like. Hope this helps.

By using a div
with style z-index:1;
and position: absolute;
you can overlay your div
on any other div
.
z-index
determines the order in which divs 'stack'. A div with a higher z-index
will appear in front of a div with a lower z-index
. Note that this property only works with positioned elements.
This is what you need:
function showFrontLayer() {
document.getElementById('bg_mask').style.visibility='visible';
document.getElementById('frontlayer').style.visibility='visible';
}
function hideFrontLayer() {
document.getElementById('bg_mask').style.visibility='hidden';
document.getElementById('frontlayer').style.visibility='hidden';
}
#bg_mask {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0; bottom: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 0px;
width: 981px;
height: 610px;
background : url("img_dot_white.jpg") center;
z-index: 0;
visibility: hidden;
}
#frontlayer {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
margin: 70px 140px 175px 140px;
padding : 30px;
width: 700px;
height: 400px;
background-color: orange;
visibility: hidden;
border: 1px solid black;
z-index: 1;
}
</style>
<html>

<form action="test.html">

<div id="bg_mask">

Now try to click on "Show front layer" button or the text box. It is not active.<br/><br/><br/>
Use position: absolute to get the one div on top of another div.<br/><br/><br/>
The bg_mask div is between baselayer and front layer.<br/><br/><br/>
In bg_mask, img_dot_white.jpg(1 pixel in width and height) is used as background image to avoid IE browser transparency issue;<br/><br/><br/>
<input type="button" value="Hide front layer" onclick="hideFrontLayer();"/>
</div>

Here follows a simple solution 100% based on CSS. The "secret" is to use the display: inline-block
in the wrapper element. The vertical-align: bottom
in the image is a hack to overcome the 4px padding that some browsers add after the element.
Advice: if the element before the wrapper is inline they can end up nested. In this case you can "wrap the wrapper" inside a container with display: block
- usually a good and old div
.
.wrapper {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
.hover {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: rgba(0, 188, 212, 0);
transition: background-color 0.5s;
}
.hover:hover {
background-color: rgba(0, 188, 212, 0.8);
// You can tweak with other background properties too (ie: background-image)...
}
img {
vertical-align: bottom;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="hover"></div>
<img src="http://placehold.it/450x250" />
</div>
</div>
The accepted solution works great, but IMO lacks an explanation as to why it works. The example below is boiled down to the basics and separates the important CSS from the non-relevant styling CSS. As a bonus, I've also included a detailed explanation of how CSS positioning works.
TLDR; if you only want the code, scroll down to The Result.
There are 2 separate, sibling, elements and the goal is to position the 2nd element (with an id
of infoi
) so it appears within the previous element (the one with a class
of navi
). The HTML structure cannot be changed.
To achieve the desired result we're going to move, or position, the 2nd element, which we'll call #infoi
so it appears within the 1st element, which we'll call .navi
. Specifically, we want #infoi
to be positioned in the top-right corner of .navi
.
CSS has several properties for positioning elements. By default, all elements are position: static
. This means the element will be positioned according to its order in the HTML structure, with few exceptions.
The other position
values are relative
, absolute
, and fixed
. By setting an element's position
to one of these 3 values it's now possible to use a combination of the following 4 properties to position the element:
top
right
bottom
left
In other words, by setting position: absolute
, we can add top: 100px
to position the element 100px from the top of the page. Conversely, if we set bottom: 100px
the element would be positioned 100px from the bottom of the page.
Here's where many CSS newcomers get lost - position: absolute
has a frame of reference. In the example above, the frame of reference is the body
element. position: absolute
with top: 100px
means the element is positioned 100px
from the top of the body
element.
The position frame of reference, or position context, can be altered by setting the position
of a parent element to any value other than position: static
. That is, we can create a new position context by giving a parent element:
position: absolute;
position: relative;
position: fixed;
For example, if a <div class="parent">
element is given position: relative
, any child elements use the <div class="parent">
as their position context. If a child element were given position: absolute
and top: 100px
, the element would be positioned 100px from the top of the <div class="parent">
element, because the <div class="parent">
is now the position context.
The other factor to be aware of is stack order - or how elements are stacked in the z-direction. The must-know here is the stack order of elements are, by default, defined by the reverse of their order in the HTML structure. Consider the following example:
<body>
<div>Bottom</div>
<div>Top</div>
</body>
In this example, if the two <div>
elements were positioned in the same place on the page, the <div>Top</div>
element would cover the <div>Bottom</div>
element. Since <div>Top</div>
comes after <div>Bottom</div>
in the HTML structure it has a higher stacking order.
div {
position: absolute;
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
}
#bottom {
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-color: blue;
}
#top {
top: 25%;
left: 25%;
background-color: red;
}
<div id="bottom">Bottom</div>
<div id="top">Top</div>
The stacking order can be changed with CSS using the z-index
or order
properties.
We can ignore the stacking order in this issue as the natural HTML structure of the elements means the element we want to appear on top
comes after the other element.
So, back to the problem at hand - we'll use position context to solve this issue.
As stated above, our goal is to position the #infoi
element so it appears within the .navi
element. To do this, we'll wrap the .navi
and #infoi
elements in a new element <div class="wrapper">
so we can create a new position context.
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="navi"></div>
<div id="infoi"></div>
</div>
Then create a new position context by giving .wrapper
a position: relative
.
.wrapper {
position: relative;
}
With this new position context, we can position #infoi
within .wrapper
. First, give #infoi
a position: absolute
, allowing us to position #infoi
absolutely in .wrapper
.
Then add top: 0
and right: 0
to position the #infoi
element in the top-right corner. Remember, because the #infoi
element is using .wrapper
as its position context, it will be in the top-right of the .wrapper
element.
#infoi {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
Because .wrapper
is merely a container for .navi
, positioning #infoi
in the top-right corner of .wrapper
gives the effect of being positioned in the top-right corner of .navi
.
And there we have it, #infoi
now appears to be in the top-right corner of .navi
.
The example below is boiled down to the basics, and contains some minimal styling.
/*
* position: relative gives a new position context
*/
.wrapper {
position: relative;
}
/*
* The .navi properties are for styling only
* These properties can be changed or removed
*/
.navi {
background-color: #eaeaea;
height: 40px;
}
/*
* Position the #infoi element in the top-right
* of the .wrapper element
*/
#infoi {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
/*
* Styling only, the below can be changed or removed
* depending on your use case
*/
height: 20px;
padding: 10px 10px;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="navi"></div>
<div id="infoi">
<img src="http://via.placeholder.com/32x20/000000/ffffff?text=?" height="20" width="32"/>
</div>
</div>
In the case we can't edit any HTML, meaning we can't add a wrapper element, we can still achieve the desired effect.
Instead of using position: absolute
on the #infoi
element, we'll use position: relative
. This allows us to reposition the #infoi
element from it's default position below the .navi
element. With position: relative
we can use a negative top
value to move it up from it's default position, and a left
value of 100%
minus a few pixels, using left: calc(100% - 52px)
, to position it near the right-side.
/*
* The .navi properties are for styling only
* These properties can be changed or removed
*/
.navi {
background-color: #eaeaea;
height: 40px;
width: 100%;
}
/*
* Position the #infoi element in the top-right
* of the .wrapper element
*/
#infoi {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
top: -40px;
left: calc(100% - 52px);
/*
* Styling only, the below can be changed or removed
* depending on your use case
*/
height: 20px;
padding: 10px 10px;
}
<div class="navi"></div>
<div id="infoi">
<img src="http://via.placeholder.com/32x20/000000/ffffff?text=?" height="20" width="32"/>
</div>
</div>
Here is a simple example to bring overlay effect with loading icon over another div.
<style>
#overlay {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: black url('icons/loading.gif') center center no-repeat; /* Make sure the path and a fine named 'loading.gif' is there*/
background-size: 50px;
z-index: 1;
opacity: .6;
}
.wraper{
position: relative;
width:400px; /* Just for testing, remove width and height if you have content inside this div*/
height:500px; /*Remove this if you have content inside*/
}
</style>
<h2>The overlay tester</h2>
<div class="wraper">
<div id="overlay"></div>
<h3>Apply the overlay over this div</h3>
</div>
