How do I start an independent new section after 'position: absolute;'-CodePudding

I think it's important to note that I'm a complete beginner in webdev.

However, the point is that I can't yet figure out how to start a new section after using position: absolute; on the previous one.

Each time I start writing something new, it ends up either on the top of the page, or on the center of the page. I have tried using flexbox and grid, however that didn't help me either. So I wonder how do I do it without affecting the layout of the webpage?

It is not even a question that I have to learn more about CSS positioning.

I know it looks a bit messy.

Here's the code:

:root {
    /* colors */
    --clr-white: rgb(235, 255, 209);
    --clr-black: rgb(10, 10, 9);
    --clr-gray: rgb(30, 30, 30);

    --clr-green: rgb(173, 255, 47);
    --clr-orange: rgb(255, 123, 25);

    --ff-main: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
}

*,
*::before,
*::after {
    box-sizing: border-box;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style: none;
}

body {
    background-color: var(--clr-black);
    color: var(--clr-white);
    font-family: var(--ff-main);
    font-size: 1.1rem;
    /* line-height: 1.5; */
}

header {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    padding: 1rem 3rem;
    z-index: 1000;
}

nav {
    display: flex;
    position: sticky;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: space-around;
    top: 100%;
}

nav li {
    line-height: 1.5;
}

main {
    display: flex;

This is one of the longer codes I've seen on this platform. If anyone wants the files it is not a problem for me to send it.

CodePudding user response：

make the two absolute position sections inside a container that has a relative position.

CodePudding user response：

You can use position: absolute on a container.

For example, use position: absolute on the main and then position the sections 'normally'. But if you need sibling sections to go next to each other and not overlap, you'd not use position: absolute on one of them.

I'd highly recommend Kevin Powell's Youtube Channel, where he makes great videos about CSS and demystifies positioning.
