Why can't I move buttons

Question

I use div around button and give it an ID and use css to move button but it's not working. Any ideas can help

Answer 1

Css element should not have Space between type and name. Replace # a by #a.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Show your code please

Answer 4

Hi Ryan, to share your code, it's better to hit the plus button and attach it. Or in the top corner, there are 3 dots, hit that and choose share, then copy the link and paste it in your post.

I believe your problem is the second "relative" you have.

Thanks everyone.

Answer 8

make the div relative position and the button at absolute position then the direction to be move

Answer 9

If each button will be unique, you want an id not a class. You should need to div each on, just add an id to each button.
E.g. <button id="lefty">L</button>

Answer 10

I checked your code, you have the div with the id, not the button. That's why the colour streaks out. The background of the div is bigger than the button.
I've updated mine above for you. You'll see the difference.

Answer 11

In html <div id=u><button>U</button></div> in css # u {position:relative; relative left: 40px;}

Answer 12

I am trying to customize buttons that will have different properties. Should I turn them into classes with dot notation or wrap in div alter by id's?

Answer 13

Thank you, that's how I have it. Having a hard time with commands working to alter. Think might be because I am on the phone programming instead of pc. Like using ex. #a {background-color:rgb(20,40,50);} this would streak out sideways instead of making button a color, or if I go to do radius nothing happens.
