In this article, I will solve a Overlap CSS Challenge on CSS Battle. Let's look at the problem first.

Problem

We need to create the following container by using CSS Properties only: Overlap

Solution

So now look at the Solution and how we are going to achieve this.

HTML

index.html

<p> 
<a> 
  • <p> : Circles
  • <a> : overlap of both circles (transparent part in the center)

CSS

Now let's style the containers.

style.css

* {
  background: #09042a;
}
body {
  margin: 75;
}
p, a {
  border-radius: 1in;
  width: 150;
  height: 150;
}
p {
  background: #7b3f61;
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
  box-shadow: 100px 0 #e78481;
}
a {
  position: absolute;
  left: 100;
}
Tip #1

Note: In CSS Battle you can use 100 instead of 100px. You don't need to define px in CSS. However, if you are using rem or %, you need to pass them separately. That's why in the above CSS code there are no units mostly. For more info visit here.

Tip #2

Minify the code or CSS by using any CSS Minifier. It helps you to reduce the characters in the code which will increase the score.

Minified Version:

<p><a><style>*{background:#09042A}body{margin:75}p,a{border-radius:1in;width:150;height:150}p{background:#7B3F61;position:relative;overflow:hidden;box-shadow:100px 0 #E78481}a{position:absolute;left:100}
