Question

Say I have a parent div with three child divs. Is there a way that I can position everything in the bottom right corner? Something like this:

--------------------------------------
|                                    |
|                                    |
|                                    |
|                                    |
|                                    |
|                   test1 test2 test3|
|------------------------------------|

I tried this css:

   #header
    {
        position:relative;
    }
    #nav_tabs
    {
        position:relative;
        width:50%;
        height:100%;
        float:right;
    }
    .tab
    {
        position:absolute;
        bottom:0px;
        float:right;
    }

With this HTML:

<div id="header">
<div id="nav_tabs">
    <div class="tab">test1</div>
    <div class="tab">test2</div>
    <div class="tab">test3</div>
</div>
</div>

But it looks like it is stacking my tabs one on top of the other. What is the correct way to do this?

Answer 1

Do this.

#header
{
    width:500px;
    height:300px;
    position:relative;
    border:1px solid red;
}
#nav_tabs
{
    position:absolute;
    bottom:0;
    right:0;
}
.tab
{
    float:left;
    margin-right:5px;
}
