1. Re: Absolute positioning not possible?
CoreyRLucier Oct 15, 2013 1:13 PM (in response to therealrgbk)The same thing that you'd do in-browser right? Make sure the parent is itself position relative or position static? If it's position static then any children are relative to the next nearest parent that is position relative or absolute.

3. Re: Absolute positioning not possible?
CoreyRLucier Oct 15, 2013 1:16 PM (in response to therealrgbk)There may be a bug with making it absolute before parenting it too, so beyond the steps I mentioned above please make sure you drop it into the parent first before setting parent position relative and child position absolute.

4. Re: Absolute positioning not possible?
therealrgbk Oct 15, 2013 1:19 PM (in response to CoreyRLucier)I got that it had to be a child. Is it just me though or is there no way to "make child" with a selcted object (which would then make your next click of whatever object you're hovering on the parent, bit like In Design when conencting text object together)
I've had the need for that a couple of times.
The issue i had was the parent object in this casse was pos: static.
Thanks again.

5. Re: Absolute positioning not possible?
CoreyRLucier Oct 15, 2013 1:41 PM (in response to therealrgbk)Just realized... whereas command-shift will prevent reparenting for normal boxes, command-shift will allow reparent of absolutely positioned elements. FWIW.
