Absolute positioning disregards the parent's padding
The right-side padding is not being applied to an absolute element, while the left-side padding is working as intended. How can this issue be resolved?
✅ To address the issue of the right-side padding not being applied to an absolute element, you can consider either of the following two solutions:
1. Use margin-right instead of padding-right:
Padding does not affect the positioning of absolutely positioned elements, but margin does. Instead of applying padding-right to the parent, you can apply margin-right to the absolutely positioned element itself.
.parent {
position: relative;
}
.absolute-element {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
margin-right: 20px; /* Adjust the value as needed */
}2. Create an Inner Wrapper:
Wrap the content of the absolutely positioned element inside another container. Apply the desired padding to this inner container, which will effectively provide the spacing you need.
<!-- HTML -->
<div class="parent">
<div class="absolute-element">
<div class="inner-wrapper">
<!-- Content -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
(or)
<div class="parent">
<div class="inner-wrapper">
<div class="absolute-element">
<!-- Content -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- CSS -->
.parent {
position: relative;
}
.absolute-element {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
}
.inner-wrapper {
padding: 0 20px; /* Adjust the value as needed */
}
