Html - How to force position absolute with 100% width to fit into parent div with padding?

To make an absolutely positioned element with 100% width fit into a parent div with padding, you can set the left and right properties to 0 along with box-sizing: border-box to include padding in the width calculation. Here's an example:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Absolute Positioning with 100% Width</title> <style> .parent-container { position: relative; width: 300px; /* Set the width of the parent container */ padding: 20px; /* Set the padding for the parent container */ background-color: #f2f2f2; } .absolute-element { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; width: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; /* Include padding and border in the width calculation */ background-color: #3498db; color: #ffffff; text-align: center; padding: 10px; /* Adjust padding as needed */ } </style> </head> <body> <!-- Your HTML content --> <div class="parent-container"> <div class="absolute-element"> This is absolutely positioned with 100% width and padding. </div> </div> </body> </html>

In this example:

  • The .parent-container is a relative container with a specified width and padding.
  • The .absolute-element is absolutely positioned with left: 0, right: 0, top: 0, and bottom: 0, ensuring it covers the entire parent container.
  • width: 100% is used to make the absolutely positioned element take up the full width of its containing block.
  • box-sizing: border-box ensures that padding is included in the width calculation.

Adjust the widths, paddings, and other styles based on your specific requirements.
