A Utility Class for Covering Elements

Read Original

This technical CSS article explains how to create reusable utility classes for the common task of completely covering one HTML element with another. It details the necessary CSS properties (position: absolute, top: 0, etc.) and provides specific class examples for overlaying direct child elements, ::before, and ::after pseudo-elements, referencing the utility-first methodology of frameworks like Tailwind CSS.
