How to add Button over image using CSS?

Question

i am new in CSS so sorry if this question is just stupid or too simple but i just dont know how to do it.

I need to place a button over the image, how it should looks:

You see there a blue button "Kopit" Thats IT! i style this thing already to my website but as one single image so my code looks like:

CSS:

#shop{
    background-image: url("images/shop_bg.png");
    background-repeat: repeat-x;    
    height:121px;
    width: 984px;
    margin-left: 20px;
    margin-top: 13px;
}

#shop .content{    
    width: 182px; /*328 co je 1/3 - 20margin left*/
    height: 121px;
    line-height: 20px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-left: 9px;
    margin-right:0px;
    display:inline-block;

}

My HTML:

 <div id="shop">
      <div class="content"> Counter-Strike 1.6 Steam <a href="#"><img src="images/CSsteam.png"></a></div>
      <div class="content"> Counter-Strike 1.6 Steam <a href="#"><img src="images/CSsteam.png"></a></div>
      <div class="content"> Counter-Strike 1.6 Steam <a href="#"><img src="images/CSsteam.png"></a></div>
      <div class="content"> Counter-Strike 1.6 Steam <a href="#"><img src="images/CSsteam.png"></a></div>
      <div class="content"> Counter-Strike 1.6 Steam <a href="#"><img src="images/CSsteam.png"></a></div>         
  </div>

Is here anybody who can help me to style that button as a different element?

Thanks a lot for reading this post.

Answer 1

Adapt this example to your code

HTML

<div class="img-holder">
    <img src="images/img-1.png" alt="image description"/>
    <a class="link" href=""></a>
</div>

CSS

.img-holder {position: relative;}
.img-holder .link {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 10px; /*your button position*/
    right: 10px; /*your button position*/
}

Answer 2

If I understood correctly, I would change the HTML to something like this:

<div id="shop">
    <div class="content">
        <img src="http://placehold.it/182x121"/> 
        <a href="#">Counter-Strike 1.6 Steam</a>
    </div>
</div>

Then I would be able to use position:absolute and position:relative to force the blue button down.

I have created a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/y9w99/

Answer 3

You need to give relative or absolute or fixed positioning to your container (#shop) and set its zIndex to say 100.

You also need to give say relative positioning to your elements with the class content and lower zIndex say 97.

Do the above-mentioned with your images too and set their zIndex to 91.

And then position your button higher by setting its position to absolute and zIndex to 95

See the DEMO

HTML

<div id="shop">

 <div class="content"> Counter-Strike 1.6 Steam 

     <img src="http://www.openvms.org/images/samples/130x130.gif">

         <a href="#"><span class='span'><span></a>

     </div>

 <div class="content"> Counter-Strike 1.6 Steam 

     <img src="http://www.openvms.org/images/samples/130x130.gif">

         <a href="#"><span class='span'><span></a>

     </div>

  </div>

CSS

#shop{
    background-image: url("images/shop_bg.png");
    background-repeat: repeat-x;    
    height:121px;
    width: 984px;
    margin-left: 20px;
    margin-top: 13px;
    position:relative;
    z-index:100
}

#shop .content{    
    width: 182px; /*328 co je 1/3 - 20margin left*/
    height: 121px;
    line-height: 20px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-left: 9px;
    margin-right:0px;
    display:inline-block;
    position:relative;
    z-index:97

}

img{

    position:relative;
    z-index:91

}

.span{

    width:70px;
    height:40px;
    border:1px solid red;
