My button won't go to the top right corner of my screen

February 3, 2024

I’m new to CSS, JavaScript, and HTML so be patient with me. I created a button that duplicates my div but the button won’t go to the top right of my page. It just stays attached for the div for some reason – image attached for clarification.

body {
  margin: 0;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100vh;
}

.nameone {
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 6px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
  position: relative;
  padding: 20px;
  padding-left: 25px;
  padding-right: 25px;
  border-radius: 5%;
}

.buttonformatting {
  background-color: red;
  height: 25px;
  width: 25px;
}

.text {
  border: none;
  text-align: center;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewpoint" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
  <title>TrialV3</title>
  <link href="Style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>

<body>

  <div class="nameone">
    <input class="text" type="text" onkeypress="this.style.width = ((this.value.length + 1)*8 ) + 'px';">
  </div>

  <script>
    var i = 0;
    var original = document.querySelector('.nameone');

    function duplicate() {
      var clone = original.cloneNode(true);
      clone.class = ".nameone" + ++i;
      original.parentNode.appendChild(clone);
    }
  </script>

  <button id="buttonone" onclick=duplicate() class="buttonformatting">
    </button>

</body>

<button id="buttonone" onclick=duplicate() class="buttonformatting">
    </button>

</html>

I have tried placing outside of my so it doesn’t get affected by that centering. I also tried putting inside of the body. However I arrange it, it seems like the button doesn’t want to leave the div’s side.

>Solution :

Why would it go to the top right unless you specify it?
position: absolute; top: 20px; right: 20px also consider position: fixed

body {
  margin: 0;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100vh;
}

.nameone {
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 6px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
  position: relative;
  padding: 20px;
  padding-left: 25px;
  padding-right: 25px;
  border-radius: 5%;
}

.buttonformatting {
  background-color: red;
  height: 25px;
  width: 25px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 20px;
  right: 20px;
}

.text {
  border: none;
  text-align: center;
}
