Prevent children from inheriting rotate transformation in CSS
I believe that you are going to need to fake it using a second child, the specification does not seem to allow for the behavior you would like, and I can understand why the position of a child element has to be affected by a transform to its parent.
This isn't the most elegant of solutions, but I think you're trying to do something that the specification is never going to allow. Take a look at the following fiddle for my solution:
.parent {
position: relative;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
margin: 70px;
}
.child1 {
background-color: yellow;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(30deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(30deg);
-o-transform: rotate(30deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(30deg);
transform: rotate(30deg);
}
.child2 {
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
left: 50px;
background-color: green;
width: 70px;
height: 50px;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="child1"></div>
<div class="child2"></div>
</div>
May be you have to write like this:
.child {
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
left: 50px;
background-color: green;
width: 70px;
height: 50px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(-30deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(-30deg);
-o-transform: rotate(-30deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(-30deg);
transform: rotate(-30deg);
}
