Position element at the bottom of container without flex or position absolute-CodePudding

I'm trying to make a component that uses both a background color for half of the component and an image for the other half, with the image acting as an element with a margin. The problem I'm having is that I cannot use display flex to space elements correctly in the content area, it breaks the component with the current solution I'm using and I have no idea why.

I'm specifically trying to position .service__link at the bottom of .service__content. I've tried using paddings/margins to get it in place, but at smaller screen sizes it ends up overflowing out of the box.

*, *::before, *::after {
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

* {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}

body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    font-family: Arial;
}

.service-container {
    max-width: 1800px;
    margin-inline: auto;
    padding: 40px 15px;
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: center;
    gap: 1.5rem;
}

.service {
    flex: 1 1 calc(33.3336% - 1.5rem);
    display: inline-block;
    position: relative;
    background: #144088;
    min-height: 325px;
    border: 2px solid #144088;
    color: white;
}

.service::before {
    content: "";
    float: right;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;

    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    font-size: 60px;

    line-height: 1;

}

.service__description {
    font-size: clamp(12px, 3vw   .25rem, 16px);
}

.service__title, .service__description {
    margin-bottom: 1rem;
}

.service__link {
    display: inline-flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    align-items: center;
    width: 35%;
}

.service__link a {
    color: white;
}

.service__link img {
    filter: brightness(0)invert(1);
}

@media screen and (max-width: 1200px) {
    .service {
        flex: 0 1 518px;
    }
}

What is going on when display: flex is added to .service__content?

Also, if anybody has a better idea of how to make this component in general I'd love to hear it.

Thanks!

CodePudding user response：

I think you could use this: position: absolute; bottom: 30px to put it in the bottom part of the div.

CodePudding user response：

If you set service__link to flex instead of inline flex and add margin-top auto it should stay on the bottom

CodePudding user response：

you have to give position : relative for container

than for service__link position: absolute; left:10px; bottom:10px; there will be no deterioration in smaller screen.

.service__content {
padding: 3rem 0 1rem 1rem;
height: 100%;
position: relative; // Added
}

.service__link {
display: inline-flex;

align-items: center;
width: 35%;
position: absolute; // Added
left:10px;          // Added
bottom:10px;        // Added
