Floating Block - Need help with spacing

Recommended Posts

Hello!

I have a website where I am trying to float a block over the main banner at the top. I have used the code below. I attached a screenshot of what it looks like. It's getting close but unfortunately there's a lot of empty space beneath the floating block and the next section. In another instance I have larger text and in mobile it goes completely over the banner image at the top. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you! I'm currently helping a client on a trial version so unfortunately I don't have an active link. 

//Home Float Block//
section[data-section-id="6181e6a07af15d314bbf9efc"] {
   background-color: transparent;
   width: 80%;
   position: absolute;
   z-index: 30;
   left: 50%;
   -webkit-transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
   -ms-transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
   transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
}
section[data-section-id="6181e6a07af15d314bbf9efc"] .sqs-block-code {
   padding: 0px;
}

Hi @bangank36

 

I am wondering if you could help. 

I am arranging some overlapping photographs at the top of my website. 

Is there a way I can stop them from disappearing behind the navigation bar when the browser is resized?

Hi @tuanphan the URL is above - /about 

 

I am also doing this on /silver-select with three images 

 

 

You used this code, it won't look good on all devices. You need to change some values on specific devices

#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1643807699720_3678 {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 90;
    top: -29em;
    left: -20%;
    right: 120%;
    width: 70%;
}

You can add more some CSS like this

@media screen and (min-width:641px) and (max-width:900px) {
    #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1643807699720_3678 {
        top: -15em;
    }
}
@media screen and (min-width:901px) and (max-width:1020px) {
    #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1643807699720_3678 {
        top: -10em;
    }
}

(You can adjust values for exact screen sizes)
