I have the following code:
scroll {
left: 50%;
transform: translateY(0%) rotate(45deg);
opacity: 0;
}
@keyframes scrolldown1 {
0% {
transform: translateY(20%) rotate(45deg);
opacity: 0.7;
}
50% {
transform: translateY(0%) rotate(45deg);
opacity: 0.2;
}
100% {
transform: translateY(20%) rotate(45deg);
opacity: 0.7;
}
}
<scroll style="width: 2em; height: 2em; background-color: transparent; z-index: 80;
bottom: 25px; border-width: 0 0.25em 0.25em 0; border-style: solid; border-color: black; position: absolute; animation: scrolldown1 1.2s ease-in-out infinite 0.15s;"></scroll>
<scroll style="width: 2em; height: 2em; background-color: transparent; z-index: 80;
bottom: 40px; position: absolute; border-width: 0 0.25em 0.25em 0; border-style: solid; border-color: black; animation: scrolldown1 1.2s ease-in-out infinite;"></scroll>
This is basically a scroll button and on my end the output is looking like this:
As you can see the alignment of the scroll button is slightly off and I would like it to be right on top of the MY STORY text or be centered. How would I achieve this task?
The code of the MY STORY text is as follows:
section {
padding: 60px 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.section-title {
text-align: center;
padding-bottom: 30px;
}
.section-title h2 {
font-size: 32px;
font-weight: bold;
text-transform: uppercase;
margin-bottom: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
position: relative;
color: #45505b;
}
.section-title h2::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
display: block;
width: 120px;
height: 1px;
background: #ddd;
bottom: 1px;
left: calc(50% - 60px);
}
.section-title h2::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
display: block;
width: 40px;
height: 3px;
background: #0563bb;
bottom: 0;
left: calc(50% - 20px);
}
<div class="section-title">
<h2>My Story</h2>
</div>
How would I achieve this task?
Basically, the scroll button should be right on top of the text
Notice that your .section-title's pseudo-elements have their left property set using calc and taking into account half of each element's width:
.section-title h2::before {
...
width: 120px;
...
left: calc(50% - 60px);
}
.section-title h2::after {
...
width: 40px;
...
left: calc(50% - 20px);
}
But the left property in your scroll declaration does not use calc. Therefore one possible fix would be to use it. Since each scroll element has a width of 2em, half of it would be 1em. So:
scroll {
/* left: 50%; */ /* remove this line */
left: calc(50% - 1em); /* add this line */
transform: translateY(0%) rotate(45deg);
opacity: 0;
}
See demo below.
#container {
position: relative;
height: 5em;
}
scroll {
/* left: 50%; */ /* remove this line */
left: calc(50% - 1em); /* add this line */
transform: translateY(0%) rotate(45deg);
opacity: 0;
}
.first-scroll {
width: 2em;
height: 2em;
background-color: transparent;
z-index: 80;
bottom: 25px;
border-width: 0 0.25em 0.25em 0;
border-style: solid;
border-color: black;
position: absolute;
animation: scrolldown1 1.2s ease-in-out infinite 0.15s;
}
.second-scroll {
width: 2em;
height: 2em;
background-color: transparent;
z-index: 80;
bottom: 40px;
position: absolute;
border-width: 0 0.25em 0.25em 0;
border-style: solid;
border-color: black;

}

PS.: Unless you're using this positioned layout for browser compatibility reasons, you probably should consider using more modern layout modules, such as flexbox or grid, your life would be much easier.
