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 */
}

Thank You!
