CSS: how to position element in lower right?

Question

I am trying to position the text element \"Bet 5 days ago\" in the lower right-hand corner. How can I accomplish this? And, more importantly, please explain so I can conqu

Answer 1

Lets say your HTML looks something like this:

    
    
Bet 5 days ago

Then, with CSS, you can make that text appear in the bottom right like so:

.box {
    position:relative;
}
.bet_time {
    position:absolute;
    bottom:0;
    right:0;
}

The way this works is that absolutely positioned elements are always positioned with respect to the first relatively positioned parent element, or the window. Because we set the box's position to relative, .bet_time positions its right edge to the right edge of .box and its bottom edge to the bottom edge of .box
