Some basic documentation can be found here.

positioning a div in above another div – Html

This is challenging for me to position the share div like in the picture above. well, I tried the position absolute with bottom and left it’s so frustrating adjusting the px but the output is always either stacked on top or bottom. how can I achieve that similar output in the picture?

the position that i want to achieve

:root {
  --VeryDarkGrayishBlue: hsl(217, 19%, 35%);
  --DesaturatedDarkBlue: hsl(214, 17%, 51%);
  --GrayishBlue: hsl(212, 23%, 69%);
  --LightGrayishBlue: hsl(210, 46%, 95%);
}

    I think without javascript you won’t be able to do it.

    You could include your share-option (position absolute) inside share-icon (position relative). This way option would be positioned relative to the button.

                <div class="share">
                <div class="share-icon">
                    <button>
                        <img src="/images/icon-share.svg" alt="">
                    </button>
                    <div class="share-option hidden">
                        <span>Share</span>
                        <a href="#"><img src="/images/icon-facebook.svg" alt=""></a>
                        <a href="#"><img src="/images/icon-pinterest.svg" alt=""></a>
                        <a href="#"><img src="/images/icon-twitter.svg" alt=""></a>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>

    and css

            .share-icon {
            position: relative;
        }
        .share-icon button {
            border: none;
            width: 40px;
            height: 40px;
            border-radius: 50%;
            background-color: var(--LightGrayishBlue);
            cursor: pointer;
        }
        .share-option {
            width: 250px;
            height: 40px;
            background: var(--VeryDarkGrayishBlue);
            border-radius: 10px;
            display: flex;
            justify-content: center;
            align-items: center;
            color: white;
            position: absolute;
            top: -40px;
            z-index: 100;
        }

    Now the problem is options are in the boundary of the relative, so it doesn’t extend on the right!

    I suppose this container is responsive, meaning size can change. So I think the only way would be to put the option in the body (display none), when a click (or hover) happens on the button, you take the position of the button and position options on top of it with display flex

    I have made some changes in the code and made the popup visible with absolute.

    :root {
  --VeryDarkGrayishBlue: hsl(217, 19%, 35%);
  --DesaturatedDarkBlue: hsl(214, 17%, 51%);
  --GrayishBlue: hsl(212, 23%, 69%);
  --LightGrayishBlue: hsl(210, 46%, 95%);
