How to avoid inheriting CSS properties with "position: relative" styling from parent elements

my body style is similar to the following:

*
{
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
}
html, body
{
    background-color: #006F92;
    position: relative;
    direction: rtl;
    font: 9pt Tahoma, 'b yekan' , 'b homa' , 'arial' , Sans-Serif;
    color: #0061B7;
    height: 100%;
    top: 0px;
    right: 0px;
}

there is a fieldset within my body with the following structure:

<fieldset id="fieldset_From">
    <legend>Web Site Names</legend>
    <asp:Label ID="lblFrom" runat="server" Text="Web Site Names" ForeColor="#00FF5A"></asp:Label>&nbsp;&nbsp;
    <telerik:RadComboBox ID="radcbFrom" runat="server" DataSourceID="sdsFrom_WebSites"
        DataTextField="From_WebSite" DataValueField="ID" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" Skin="BlackByMe"
        ValidationGroup="A" Width="240px" LoadingMessage="Loading..." CausesValidation="False"
        MaxHeight="150px" AppendDataBoundItems="True">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="All" Value="-1" />
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadComboBox>
</fieldset>

the slider of that Telerik RadComboBox has an issue with position: relative; within my body.
I require that positioning in the body.
How can I prevent the RadComboBox Slider from inheriting the positioning from the body?

EDIT :
rendered HTML :

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
...

AND ALL CSS:

*
{
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
}
html, body
{
    background-color: #006F92;
    position: relative;
    direction: rtl;
    font: 9pt Tahoma, 'b yekan' , 'b homa' , 'arial' , Sans-Serif;
    color: #0061B7;
    height: 100%;
    top: 0px;
    right: 0px;
}
input, select, option
{
    font-family: Tahoma, 'b yekan' , 'b homa' , 'arial' , Sans-Serif;
}
#OuterDiv
{
    width: 650px;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0 auto;
}
#OuterDiv .Link:link, #OuterDiv .Link:visited
{
    color: #00FF12;
}
#OuterDiv .Link:hover, #OuterDiv .Link:active
{
    color: #F0FF00;
}
#lbHome
{
    font: bold 15px tahoma;
    ...
}
...

The div below the form element represents the slider of the RadComboBox.

Thank you in advance

Answer №1

To apply a custom CSS class to controls, you can use the CssClass property as shown below:

.static-position {
    position: static;
}

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="radcbFrom" CssClass="static-position" ...>
    ....
</telerik:RadComboBox>

Update: After reading the comments, we identified a solution to the specific issue. By wrapping the lbHome in another

<div style="position:relative;">...</div>
, which required relative positioning, and removing the position from the body tag's style, the problem was successfully resolved.

Answer №2

While browsing, I came across the position : static property mentioned here. Hopefully, it will return to its default state.

Answer №3

To customize the appearance of your control, you can apply inline styles that will take precedence over the parent style.

For example:

style="font-weight: bold;"

Additional Positioning Options include:

static: Elements are displayed in the order they appear in the document's flow. This is the default setting.

absolute: The element's position is determined in relation to its first ancestor with a non-static positioning.

fixed: The element's placement is relative to the browser window.

relative: The element is positioned based on its normal location, so adjusting "top:20px" moves the element down by 20 pixels from its original position.
