How to place a div on the right side with absolute position
I've a page where a dynamic message box has to be displayed without disturbing the actual page. This message box has to appear at the top right corner of the page overlapping the existing contents.
I've tried to use position: absolute but then I'm unable to place it in the right corner. Also I'm unable to use left since I've to support responsive design from Bootstrap.
Here is a sample markup
<html>
<body>
<div class="container">
<!-- Need to place this div at the top right of the page-->
<div class="ajax-message">
<div class="row">
<div class="span9">
<div class="alert">
<a class="close icon icon-remove"></a>
<div class="message-content">
Some message goes here
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Page contents starts here. These are dynamic-->
<div class="row">
<div class="span12 inner-col">
<h2>Documents</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This message box should have a width of 50% with respect to the .container and the left side of the message box should not be overlapped by it. ie we should be able to click/select the contents of the left side.
Please find a sample here.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Answer
yourbox{
position:absolute;
right:<x>px;
top :<x>px;
}
positions it in the right corner. Note, that the position is dependent of the first ancestor-element which is not static positioned!
