Please help me with position:absolute for my Logo

Admittedly I have not used absolute positioning that much.

Not quite sure what I am doing wrong here. Check the link below. The logo is in maroon. What am I doing wrong with my css?

Thanks!

Wow, that was confusing. The problem is that your logo is saved at an enormous resolution.

1,500px × 860px .png

this image should be cropped as tight as you can get on it. After you do that, re-upload the image. Remove your absolutely positioning and the logo may fall pretty close to where you want it. If you want to move it use position:relative; in this case.

holy crap how did i do that lol… amateur mistake

Okay I changes it to relative and it bumped everything around a bit… What did I do wrong here?

EDIT: almost have it in the right position… but now it has bumped down the image of the beer beneath it?

You’re almost there!!!

Give #headerimg position:relative;

Then give img.logo position:absolute;

absolutely positioned elements are positioned in relation to the browser window.

UNLESS… they are contained inside a relatively positioned element. Then they are absolutely positioned in relation to the container that is relatively positioned.

<div style=“position:relative”>
<img src=“###” style=“position:absolute;top:3px;left:400px;” />
</div>

woot!

got it… thanks rusty!

So the parent element for an absolute element has to be position:relative?

oops sorry posted that before you posted that last one… thanks again rusty!
