I'm trying to position a ribbon image on one of my websites. Unfortunately I can't figure out why it doesn't work as I want it to. I used position: relative; and position: absolute; to do all the positioning stuff but the problem is that the image is not on top:

Ribbon

I've used to following code:

.ribbon { position: relative; }
.ribbon h3 {
    background: url("images/ribbon.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-family: Tahoma,arial,serif;
    font-size: 1.4em;
    height: 34px;
    padding: 7px 0 0 17px;
    position: absolute;
    right: -36px;
    width: 244px;
    z-index: 200;
}

If you want to take a look at the website you can do it on this link (user: tmp / pass: tmpuser).

It should look like this:

Ribbon

Thanks so much for your help! Dennis

The link gives a 404 error ("Oops! The Page Can Not Be Found!"). – Peter Olson Apr 7 '11 at 20:14
Is the screenshot what you want it to look like or how it's coming out? – Anthony Apr 7 '11 at 20:15
@Peter Of The Corn: The link works for me, but please try this one instead (same user/pass). – dennis3484 Apr 7 '11 at 20:21

Does the parent container have overflow:hidden assigned to it? I had a different issue with the link you supplied - I was able to enter the username and password but then I got a warning of malicious content etc. Might be best if you put up a sample of your HTML and CSS up on jsfiddle.net – Dan Apr 7 '11 at 23:51

It looks like the outer DIV width is too small to fit all and it's pushing the image down.

Try setting up the width of the main / wrapping DIV to a larger width and see if that works.
