How to Position an Item at the Bottom of its Container Using CSS

Learn how to make an element stick to the bottom of its parent container with CSS.

Placing an item at the bottom of its container is a common requirement in web development. I recently encountered a similar situation and realized that there are two important factors to consider: setting the position property to absolute for the element and adding position: relative to the parent container.

Here’s an example of how you can achieve this:

<div class="container-element">
 ...
 <div class="element-to-stick-to-bottom">
 ...
 </div>
</div>

To make the element-to-stick-to-bottom stick to the bottom of its parent container container-element, apply the following CSS properties:

.element-to-stick-to-bottom {
 position: absolute;
 bottom: 0;
}

.container-element {
 position: relative;
}

By setting position: absolute on the element you want to stick to the bottom and position: relative on its parent container, you can ensure that the element stays fixed at the bottom of the container.

Remember to adjust the class and container names according to your specific HTML structure. Now you can easily position an item at the bottom of its container using CSS!
