There are times when you would like the content to be contained in a box. Sometimes you would like the header to overlap the top of that box. Here is how to do it. The crucial lines here are position:relative; top:40px; within the h1 CSS reference.
See demo.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=”en”>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Header over container</title>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
font-family:Sans-serif;
color:#CCCCCC;
}
h1, #container
{
margin:0 auto;
width:800px;
}
#container
{
margin-top:20px;
border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
}
h1
{
text-align:center;
color:#FF0000;
position:relative;
top:40px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>The title Lorem Ipum</h1>
<div id="container">
<p>Lorem ipsum consetetur...</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
