I am currently working on a gallery of thumbnail images. Each image is accompanied by a title below it:
<div class='gallery'>
<div class='thumb'>
<div class='thumbimage'></div>
<div class='thumbtitle'></div>
</div>
<div class='thumb'>
<div class='thumbimage'></div>
<div class='thumbtitle'></div>
</div>
</div>
The thumbnails are positioned side by side in a grid layout using the following CSS code:
.thumb {
float: left;
}
To ensure that the titles fit on one line, I have applied the following CSS properties to them:
.thumbtitle {
line-height: 1.25em;
min-height: 1.25em;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
}
Furthermore, I want the full title to be displayed when a user hovers over a thumbnail, without affecting the layout of other thumbnails:
.thumb:hover .thumbtitle {
height: auto;
line-height: 1.25em;
white-space: normal;
}
If the full title exceeds one line, the expanded thumbnail box should overlap with adjacent thumbnails rather than displacing them:
However, my issue arises when the expanded thumbnail pushes other thumbnails aside. Is there a way to make the expanded thumbnail overlap with surrounding thumbnails instead?
