how to collapse reserved space with relative positioning

1 New Member
I am working on a site where I've used relative positioning to place some pictures and frame boxes. However with relative spacing there is the reserve space where the object would naturally appear.
I am looking for help to find out how to collapse this reserved space as to not create a blank area on my web page.

Here's my situation. I have a statically positioned table that has an image in a cell. I also have some layers, defined by absolute-positioned DIVs for some animation. Everything works until I scroll/resize. Then the image "moves" on the screen but the animation doesn't. The net effect is that their relative positioning changes. I'd like to have it be that they would stay in the same relative position. I want to keep the image as an...

I have noticed that the meaning of visibility: collapse has been discussed on different forums, but with no consensus on what it really means. Besides, implementations differ. The specification says: "The 'visibility' property takes the value 'collapse' for row, row group, column, and column group elements. This value causes the entire row or column to be removed from the display, and the space normally taken up by the row or column to...

Hello, basically, I'm just learning intermediate CSS and trying to convert my old table webpage completely to CSS. Hoorah, right? Well, it's not quite going as planned. It's an extremely simple layout, and I'm finding myself stuck with small white space in between my images where I planned for the graphics to be stacked up right on top of one another. Here's the simple vertical layout: width is 640px, centered with a CSS border. I'd...

I'm trying to come up with a list of uses for relative positioning. Can anybody think of any I've missed? * Establishing a local positioning context on an element for the benefit of its absolutely positioned descendents. * Overlapping a nearby element (but why not just use negative margins?) * Cute, but probably useless, animations involving an element flying into and/or out of its normal position with JavaScript.

Hello Reading the follwing document: http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-positioning-970131#In-flow it seems very clear that position:relative should be relative to the parent element. So in the following test case element1 and element2 should be placed side by side inside a centered white container element: http://www.markusernst.ch/test.htm

I'm slowly (very slowly) working my way thru the bizarre and sadistic world of control positioning in MultiViews (ASP 2.0).

An absolutely positioned element is positioned relative to another element, called the containing block. Here comes the definition...

I have a strange problem where it seems IE is doing the correct layout but Firefox and Safari isn't. I think I'm probably wrong, and there is something in the standards that say behaviour should be like Firefox does, but could someone tell me what is right?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
