Set position absolute and margin

by

I know this isn’t a very timely answer but there is a way to solve this. You could add a “spacer” element inside the element positioned absolutely with a negative bottom margin and a height that is the same size as the negative bottom margin.

HTML:

<div id="container">
    <div class="spacer"></div>
</div>

CSS:

// same container code, but you should remove the margin-bottom as it has no effect

// spacer code, made it a class as you may need to use it often
.spacer {
    height: 50px;
    margin: 0 0 -50px 0;
    /* margin: 20px 0 -50px 0; use this if you want #container to have a 'bottom padding', in this case of 20px */
    background: transparent; /* you'll need this if #container's parent element has a different background from #container itself */
}
