The first people to figure out faux absolute positioning for email development were Mark Robbins and Steven Sayo. You can check out and Steven’s to find out more.
But first, let’s explore how Niven uses the technique. You can also find all of this in an.
How to achieve overlappg elements in emails
In his big-picture explanation of faux absolute positioning, Niven told us that we are essentially fooling the rendering Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Business Email List engines by setting either max-height or max-width to zero and adjusting these values to get the precise position needed.
Adjusting the width is actually a new method that Niven adapted from Mark and Steven’s original approach.
Using faux absolute positioning, the element (or block) you add beneath moves into that space to fill the void, and the first block ends up displaying on top of the element you’ve coded below it. As Niven showed us in UAE Cell Number the video, you can use this trick to reposition an element from the top, bottom, left, or right.
Here’s a look at the overlapping elements Niven needed to code into an email and how it looked before he applied faux absolute positioning:
