I’m working on a responsive web project and having trouble with image positioning. The image doesn’t look like it should according to my design file. I tried using position relative on the parent container and position absolute on the image itself, but this causes the page width to expand unexpectedly. Even adding overflow hidden doesn’t fix the issue. I’m building mobile first and want the layout to work properly when scaling up to tablet breakpoints using media queries. The image should align perfectly with the design specifications but currently looks off. Has anyone dealt with similar positioning problems when trying to match exact design layouts?
Had this exact problem last month on a client project. The issue was absolute positioning breaking out of the document flow. I fixed it by switching to CSS Grid or Flexbox for the main layout instead of absolute positioning. This keeps everything responsive and properly aligned. Also check if your image has default browser styling or if the container’s box-sizing is set to border-box. Sometimes width expansion happens because the absolutely positioned element calculates position from the viewport instead of the parent container.
yea, i feel ya! sometimes it’s a pain to get the img right. try adding some margin adjustments or check if there’s padding on the container that’s messing it up. it can be real touchy with responsive design!
