How to Place Button at Bottom Right Corner of Image?

**thedealmaker** · Aug 20, 2006, 21:56

Hi all,
I want to find a way to place a button at the bottom right corner of an image. The button should still be inside the image, not under the image. How? I know how to create a link button using FORM and INPUT tag, but can I use innerHtml to insert the button into the IMG tag? If not, how to do it? I tried, but the button is always outside the image.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Not sure if this is the best way, but you could set your image to be the backgound of a DIV and place the button accordingly eg.

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" />

<title>A page</title>

<style type="text/css">

#backgrounddiv
{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	background: blue url('Data/My Pictures/bluefish.jpg');
	width: 200px;
	height: 200px;
}

#backgrounddiv #mybutton
{
	padding: 0;
	float: right;
	margin: 180px 0 0 0;
} 

</style>

</head>

<body>

<div id="backgrounddiv">
	<input id="mybutton" type="button" value="test"/>
</div>

</body>

</html>

Just change the height and width of backgrounddiv to match your image.

Hope this helps

Thanks, but I cannot set image as background because I am not allowed to change the existing image format. Need another way to do this.
