Question

Element 1) An image is set on the page.

Element 2) We want to add a piece of tape/div on top overlapping the image.

What position property do we place on each element and why?
A. Element 1: position: absolute; Element 2: position: relative. This allows Element 2 to be positioned relative to Element 1.
B. Element 1: position: relative; Element 2: position: absolute. This allows Element 2 to be positioned relative to Element 1.
C. Element 1: position: fixed; Element 2: position: absolute. This makes both elements fixed in place.
D. Element 1: position: static; Element 2: position: absolute. This allows Element 2 to be positioned relative to the document.

Answer 1

To overlap an image with another element like a div, you assign the image a 'position: relative;' and the div 'position: absolute;'. This ensures the div is positioned in relation to the image.

Step-by-step explanation:

To overlap an image with a div (piece of tape), you need to use CSS positioning. The correct answer is B: Element 1: position: relative; Element 2: position: absolute. By setting the position of Element 1 (the image) to relative, it remains in the normal flow of the document but also becomes a positioning context for Element 2 (the tape/div).

Then you set the position of Element 2 to absolute, which will remove it from the normal document flow and position it relative to the nearest positioned ancestor, which is Element 1 in this case. Since Element 1 is relative, Element 2 can be positioned on top of it using top, bottom, left, and right CSS properties.
