div下段右

Question

I have two divs that each have a paragraph link at the bottom right of the div. When I add the code bottom: 0; position: absolute; bottom: 0; position: absolute; , it pulls both the links together into the far right div instead of keeping them in their own divs. How can I set this so that the link stays inside of it's own container at the bottom right corner?

 .header-unit { height: 300px; position: relative; margin-top: 5px; background-size: cover; background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-image: url("/images/liberty.jpg"); } #messageContainer { margin-left: 200px; /* padding-top: 450px; */ position: relative; display: inline-block; } h1 { font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif; font-size: 2em; line-height: 1.15; text-transform: uppercase; } #knowledge, #practice { padding: 25px; width: 350px; height: 300px; display: block; color: #fff; } .linksect { bottom: 0; right: 25px; position: absolute; } #knowledge { background: #8b8b8b; } #practice { background: #554a58; } .indexheader { font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif; font-size: 2em; line-height: 1.15; text-transform: uppercase; color: #554a58; } .firmvalues { margin-top: 50px; }

Answer 1

You can provide context for position:absolute by adding a non-static position property to the ancestor element you want the absolutely positioned element to be relative to. position:relative is usually a good choice because it keeps your element in the document flow. (Note that I added it to the #knowledge,#practice rule.)

 .header-unit { height: 300px; position: relative; margin-top: 5px; background-size: cover; background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-image: url("/images/liberty.jpg"); } #messageContainer { margin-left: 200px; /* padding-top: 450px; */ position: relative; display: inline-block; } h1 { font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif; font-size: 2em; line-height: 1.15; text-transform: uppercase; } #knowledge, #practice { padding: 25px; width: 350px; height: 300px; display: block; color: #fff; position: relative; } .linksect { bottom: 0; right: 25px; position: absolute; } #knowledge { background: #8b8b8b; } #practice { background: #554a58; } .indexheader { font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif; font-size: 2em; line-height: 1.15; text-transform: uppercase; color: #554a58; } .firmvalues { margin-top: 50px; }
