Positioning a Flexbox Column to the Top-Right of a Page

When you're designing a website, the arrangement of navigation elements is crucial for both aesthetics and usability. If you want to arrange your navigation icons in a vertical column at the top-right corner of your webpage, you might encounter some challenges, especially if the elements overlap. Let’s explore how to effectively position a flexbox or grid column using CSS.

The Problem

You might find yourself struggling with the positioning of navigation icons due to overlapping issues. Here’s an example scenario:

You have four navigation icons (links) that you want to display in a single column from the top-right corner of the page. However, when you try to fix a <div> to the top right, all the elements overlap each other, going directly on top of one another instead of stacking vertically.

In your existing code, you might have tried something like:

This setup uses flexbox but doesn't achieve the desired result of creating a column layout.

The Solution

To solve this problem, you need to group your navigation links into a container that uses the flexbox property with a vertical orientation. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Create a Container

Wrap your navigation links within a <div> that serves as a flex container.

Explanation of CSS Properties

position: fixed;: This keeps your navigation column fixed in the viewport even when the user scrolls.

top: 2vh; & right: 5vw;: These properties set the position of the container, allowing you to adjust its placement from the top and right edges of the page.

display: flex;: This converts the container into a flexbox container.

flex-direction: column;: This property stacks the navigation items vertically instead of horizontally.

Final Code Example

Here's how the complete code might look:

Conclusion

By implementing a flex container with a column orientation, you can properly display your navigation icons from the top-right of your page without overlap. Adjusting the styles allows for greater customization and ensures that your navigation elements are both visually appealing and user-friendly.
