I am struggling to grasp why a div set as absolute inside a relative div is overlapping with other elements. From what I understand, it should remain fixed within its parent relative div, right?
This is my solution:
#container {
position: relative;
}
#overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
background-image: url(https://picsum.photos/800);
background-size: cover;
}<div id="before">
some div
</div>
<div id="container">
<div id="overlay">
<div>Some text.</div>
<div>Some text.</div>
<div>Some text.</div>
<div>Some text.</div>
<div>Some text.</div>
<div>Some text.</div>
<div>Some text.</div>
<div>Some text.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="after">
other div
</div>I am puzzled by the fact that #content, placed as relative, overlaps with #after.
