You need to wrap the text in a div element and include the absolutely positioned element inside of it. <div class=”container”> <div class=”inner”> <div class=”full-height”></div> [Your text here] </div> </div> Css: .inner: { position: relative; height: auto; } .full-height: { height: 100%; } Setting the inner div’s position to relative makes the absolutely position elements … Read more
I believe the answer you’re looking for is as follows… The position of an element does not default to 0,0. It’s position is set by default relative to the containing element, therefor in your example, “#container-1” has a padding-left: 20px whereas the rest of the padding is set to 0 making the “default” position of … Read more
Instead of putting (as in your example) a button directly on the canvas, you could put a stackpanel on the canvas, horizontally aligned, and put the two buttons in there. Like so: <Canvas> <StackPanel Canvas.Left=”100″ Canvas.Top=”100″ Orientation=”Horizontal”> <Button>Button 1</Button><Button>Button 2</Button> </StackPanel> </Canvas> I think that it’s quite flexible when you use more than 1 layout … Read more
You must set position: relative; on the parent div to get the child elements to move in relation to it. The reality is, you can have the parent div set to any user-defined position, as long as the default static position isn’t being used.

Pushing the element left by 50% of its width and then translating it horizontally by 50% has worked for me. .element { position: absolute; left: 50%; transform: translateX(-50%); } I found the concept in the following link, and then I translated to fit my horizontal align needs: https://gist.github.com/colintoh/62c78414443e758c9991#file-douchebag-vertical-align-css
The text-overflow property only affects content that is overflowing a block container element in its inline progression direction MDN For text-overflow to work, specifying text-overflow: ellipsis alone will not do any good – you should use the following styles together: overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; span, div, th, td { overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; … Read more
When autosuggest suggestions are shown, they should appear on top of the content without affecting container’s scrollbar. When scrolling the container, the input and suggestions should move together. This can’t be done with CSS only. To have suggestions appear on top of the container‘s content, non clipped, it has to have position: absolute and none … Read more
Set the html tag, too. This way no weird position hacks are required. html, body {height: 100%}
