Question

I expierencing something strange. Prob it’s easy, but my css knowhow stops here.

In the dark part, the middle part with the text in it isn’t relative to the rest of the website. I knew that it had something to do with being a div related to an other div. I tried this, but it doesn’t work.

This is the css part for the rounded corners part, the strange thing is that I can place the shadow part in the rounded corners container and the shadow is related to the rounded corners part.

I also tried placing the above css in a other container, but that didn’t sem to work and wrecked the website.

Can somebody tell me what to do?

.rounded_corners{

background: url(../images/achtergrond_homepage.png); no-repeat left bottom;
display: block;
left: 480px;
top: -730px;
z-index: 100000;
position: relative;
color:#FFF;
padding: 15px;
width: 360px;
height: 440px;

}

Answer 1

You have a div with id="wrap-header" that uses margin: 0 auto … this means that it will be centered horizontally. It also has position: relative and a lot of stuff inside it with position: absolute. That means the stuff inside wrap-header is positioned based on where wrap-header is, and the position of wrap-header changes as the window is resized due to the centering.

However your black box with text, the div with id=rounded-corners is outside all this stuff, so its position doesn’t change with the window size. Consequently, it will be positioned wrong for almost every size of the window.

Either get rid of margin:0 auto on wrap-header, or move more of the content out of wrap-header (it doesn’t make sense for a lot of it to be in there, perhaps you have misplaced a closing div tag?) or move rounded-corners up to inside wrap-header so it gets repositioned with the rest.
