Position: absolute;

Hi,

Just curious why when i select

position: absolute; { bottom: 0; right: 0; }

it does not position in the bottom right hand of the browser.

However when i select

position: absolute; { top: 0; right: 0; }

It will position in the top right of the browser.

figcaption { font-size: .9em; line-height: 1.5; color: #fff; padding: 1em;
background: rgba(19,43,102, .85);

position: absolute; bottom: 0; right: 0; }

It goes directly to the bottom right for me.

Perhaps you have some additional HTML and/or CSS not shown here that's affecting it?

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the reply, I thought it should go to the bottom, its most likely a piece of HTML or CSS like you said that i've missed placed when I was moving things about, i'll have another look over it, thanks for your help. Have a great day. Ryan
