Emwat Oon Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'm trying to put a navigation menu at the top, but I don't understand something. Position: Absolute overlaps everything else. Position: Relative seems to throw out all of my formatting out the window and won't include line breaks. Why do I have to work around this positioning to accomplish some kind of header? <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="cssAttempt.aspx.cs" Inherits="cssAttempt" %><!DOCTYPE html><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head runat="server"> <title>CSS ATTEMPT</title> <style> div { display: block; } div.top{ position: absolute; width:100%; color:white; background-color: black; } .top ul { list-style: none; } .top ul li { float:left; /*Hate: This centers*/ } .top a { display: block; text-decoration: none; } </style></head><body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div class="top"> <ul class="top"> <li>HOME</li> <li>ANYTHING</li> <li>ANYTHING</li> <li>ANYTHING</li> </ul> </div> <div> <h1>Hey</h1> <p>If you don't see Hey, that means it's been overlapped.</p> </div> </form></body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niche Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Use float instead http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_float.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) In general you don't use relative or absolute positioning unless there is no alternative. Menus are nothing new or unique. What you might try is a search... maybe... http://drop down menu site:http://w3schools.invisionzone.com Edited September 20, 2013 by davej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
