how to postion two divs above each over

Question

hey is there any way to start drawing divs from the same point that means if i add new div and then i add another div they will appear above each over because i want to move them all together depending on the same point

CSS ::

\#num1,#num2{
display : inline
position:relative;
left:50px;
}

HTML ::

<div id='container'>
<div id='num1'></div>
<div id='num2'></div>
</div>

so what should i add to this code so when the browser render this code the 2 divs will be on the same place ?

Answer 1

Make the first one position:absolute, which should take it out of the normal flow of the page.

Answer 2

I believe the only way to do this is to use absolute positioning

Answer 3

You can use absolute positioning.

  #num1,#num2{ display : inline position:absolute; left:50px;top:10px; }

Answer 4

Use z-index to position divs on top of one another:

So, you'll position the divs with absolute/relative positioning and then use z-index to layer them.

Answer 5

The discussion in this SO question may be of help.

Usually, my solution of making first relative and positioning the second as an absolute works well.

Answer 6

All statements regarding absolute positioning are correct. People failed to mention, however, that you need position: relative on the parent container.

<div id='container'>
    <div id='num1'></div>
    <div id='num2'></div>
</div>

Supporting CSS:

#container { position: relative; }
#num1, #num2 { position: absolute; left: 50px; }

Depending on which element you want on top, you can apply z-indexes to your absolutely positioned divs. A higher z-index gives the element more importance, placing it on the top of the other elements:

/* num2 will be on top of num1 */
#num1 { z-index: 1; }
#num2 { z-index: 2; }
