So I've looked around quite a bit for an example to this but I couldn't find anything for what exactly I am trying to do.
I'm building a blog with the front page having a bunch of posts in order like this -

The blogs vary in size based on how much text is in them -

When you hover over a blog I am trying to make a small bar appear inside of the blog that overlaps the text at the bottom so that I can have some options appear, such as 'Like' 'Favorite' 'Feature' or w/e and this is where my problem comes in.
echo "<div class='blogpost' id='" . $row['blogid'] . "'>";
echo "<h3 class='blogheader'>" . $row['blogheader'] . "</h3>";
echo "<p class='blogbody'>" . $row['blogbody'] . "</p>";
echo "<div class='blogextras'></div>";
echo "</div>";
I create the 'blogextras' div that will hold the options mentioned above.
.blogextras {
position:relative;
height:35px;
width:100%;
background:#333;
}
I give it some style.
$(".blogpost").hover(function(){
$(".blogpost").css("overflow", "auto");
$(".blogextras").show();
$(".blogextras").css("position", "absolute");
});
$(".blogpost").mouseleave(function(){
$(".blogpost").css("overflow", "hidden");
$(".blogextras").hide();
$(".blogextras").css("position", "relative");
});
Add some jQuery.
But my final result makes the 'blogextras' div appear below where I want it to be (about 35 pixels) -

I also tried not changing it's position from relative to absolute and this does give a kind of desired result except it makes the boxes re-size which I don't want it to do.
I want the 'blogextras' div to appear at the bottom of the visible text area every time no matter the size of the 'blogpost' div.
Sorry if I haven't been discriptive enough or haven't given enough code just post a comment if you want to see more.
