Margin-top doesnt change position

January 26, 2022

i wanted to move a element up, i tried with margin-top, but it seems it doesnt work.

#nextquestion {
  margin-left: 80%;
  width: 15%;
  background-color: #333333;
  height: 40%;
  color: white;
  font-size: 20px;
  border: none;
  margin-top: 0.01%;
  display: inline-block;
}

#question1 {
  color: white;
  margin-left: 2.5%;
  font-size: 31px;
  margin-top: 5%;
}

<div style="background-color: #161624; width: 100%; height: 20%; vertical-align: bottom ; " d>
  <a id="question1" style="display: inline-block;">Question 1/X</a>
  <button id="nextquestion">Next Question</button>
</div>

I have added display: inline-block, but it didnt change anything.

Margin-top: -…, doesnt change a lot

>Solution :

That’s not the right way to do it in my opinion. Using negative margins is not a good practice. I would instead use flex to achieve it:

#question-container {
  background-color: #161624;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  height: 20%;
  justify-content: space-between;
  padding: 3rem;
}

#nextquestion {
  width: 15%;
  min-width: 120px;
  background-color: #333333;
  color: white;
  font-size: 20px;
  border: none;
}

#question1 {
  color: white;
  font-size: 31px;
}

<div id="question-container">
  <a id="question1" style="display: inline-block;">Question 1/X</a>
  <button id="nextquestion">Next Question</button>
</div>
