P and h1 tag how to get them in top of the flex box

swimmer · June 19, 2019, 10:19am

When I try to make flex box that has a P tag and a H1 tag the p tag pushed to the bottom of the page I’m interested that the H1 and the text and the p tag will be in the top left corner.
This is my code

Any help in what am I doing wrong will be appreciated.

          <h1 class = "title flex-item">This is my header</h1>
          
          
       
          <p  class = "flex-item">This my p tag</p>

your question and your code create a paradox. if you want them at the top, then remove the 25% padding that keeps pushing them down. Then, add the following code:

  align-content: flex-start;
  align-items: stretch;
