I'm attempting to position a child element within a flexbox container using absolute positioning.
The issue I'm encountering is that the element jumps out of its parent and aligns itself with the grandparent instead. This problem seems specific to the usage of flexbox, as it works correctly outside of this context.
Let me provide some pseudo code for clarity:
<div style="display: flex; width: 100%;">
<div style="position: relative; width: 100px; height: 100px;">
<button style="position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px;">X</button>
</div>
<div>This is irrelevant.</div>
</div>The button should be positioned in the upper-right corner of its parent div, but instead, it appears in the center of the screen. Is there a proper solution or workaround for this issue?
EDIT: Despite my attempts to replicate the issue in the provided code snippet, I have been unsuccessful (I didn't test the pseudo code initially, assuming it would accurately represent the problem). This leads me to suspect that the root cause may lie elsewhere in my code. I regret not conducting further testing before posting. Therefore, I am unable to accept any solutions at this time.
