15,279 PointsHi Akhter,
Did you contain the desired content in a <div> tag in the HTML code? and target afterwards that specific tag with the CSS style? You for sure will need to put in place an id for that tag as well. Example:
<div id="floating_container">
CONTENT
<div>
in your style sheet you will need to target that ID with the following:
floating_elements {
PROPERTIES }
