Button doesn't work upon changing position

Out of nowhere, my button stopped working. I tried to narrow it down to what was causing the issue, it happens whenever I add the following piece of code in my css -

#filler{
    position:relative;
    left:340px;
    top:85px
}

It was working all this time and is suddenly non functional, but only when I try to position it. Here is all my code for reference: 

function myFunction() {
  $('#Asterisk').empty();
  for (var i = 0; i < 7; i++) {

    for (var a = i; a < 7; a++) {

      $('#Asterisk').append("*");
    }

    $('#Asterisk').append("<br>");


  }


}
#Obelix {
  border: 8px solid black;
  width: 400px;
  height: 200px;
  position: relative;
  left: 250px;
  top: 100px
}

#Getafix {
  width: 400px;
  height: 200px;
  position: relative;
  left: 75px;
  bottom: 126px
}

#Asterisk {
  position: relative;
  right: 325px;
  top: 10px;
  transform: rotate(180deg)
}

#mainwrapper {
  height: 4000px;
  width: 4000px;
  position: relative
}

#filler {
  position: relative;
  left: 340px;
  top: 85px
}

#filler {
  padding: 15px 25px;
  font-size: 24px;
  text-align: center;
  cursor: pointer;
  outline: none;
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #4CAF50;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 15px;
  box-shadow: 0 9px #999;
}

#filler:hover {
  background-color: #3e8e41
}

#filler:active {
  background-color: #3e8e41;
  box-shadow: 0 5px #666;
  transform: translateY(4px);
}

Add top: 100px; and remove bottom: 126px; in #Getafix css. 

#Getafix {
    width: 400px;
    height: 200px;
    position: relative;
    left: 75px;
    /* bottom: 126px; */
    top: 100px;
}

You have already got your answer. Just a suggestion. Don't wrap your body element inside other div. The <body></body> should be the root for your documents body.

The problem is, that your #Getafix div is above the button, as soon as you position it. You may use z-index to change this order. E.g. 

button {
  z-index: 1;
}

edit: I added a light nearly transparent background-color to #Getafix, so you may see its positioning. In case using z-index is no option for you (as you need it to be visually above the button), you could use pointer-events: none; on the #Getafix div. This causes all click-events to be ignored by #Getafix and instead passed to the underlying button. Unfortunately the brower support for poiner-events is mediocre (no ie10 or below support): http://caniuse.com/#feat=pointer-events 

function myFunction(){
		$('#Asterisk').empty();
		for(var i =0;i<7;i++) { 
			
	    for(var a=i;a<7;a++) { 

		$('#Asterisk').append("*");
				
			}
			
			
		$('#Asterisk').append("<br>");
		
			
		}
		
	
	    }
#Obelix{
    border:8px solid black;
    width:400px;
    height:200px;
    position:relative;
    left:250px;
    top:100px}

    #Getafix{
	width:400px;
    height:200px;
    position:relative;
    left:75px;
    bottom:126px;
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.1); /* making the #Getafix div position visible */
    }
	

    #Asterisk{
    position:relative;
    right:325px;
    top:10px;
    transform:rotate(180deg)
    }

    #mainwrapper{
	height:4000px;
    width:4000px;
    position:relative}
   
    #filler{
    position:relative;
    z-index: 1;
    left:340px;
    top:85px
    }
   
    #filler {
    padding: 15px 25px;
    font-size: 24px;
    text-align: center;
    cursor: pointer;
    outline: none;
    color: #fff;
    background-color: #4CAF50;
    border: none;
    border-radius: 15px;
    box-shadow: 0 9px #999;
    }


    #filler:hover {background-color: #3e8e41}

    #filler:active {
    background-color: #3e8e41;
    box-shadow: 0 5px #666;

You button is under #Getafix element, so it can't be pressed.

You can increase z-index of #Asterisk element or set pointer-events of #Getafix to none as in snippet below. 

 function myFunction(){
		$('#Asterisk').empty();
		for(var i =0;i<7;i++) { 
			
	    for(var a=i;a<7;a++) { 

		$('#Asterisk').append("*");
				
			}
			
			
		$('#Asterisk').append("<br>");
		
			
		}
		
	
	    }
#Obelix{
    border:8px solid black;
    width:400px;
    height:200px;
    position:relative;
    left:250px;
    top:100px}

    #Getafix{
	width:400px;
    height:200px;
    position:relative;
    left:75px;
    bottom:126px;
    pointer-events: none;
    }
	

    #Asterisk{
    position:relative;
    right:325px;
    top:10px;
    transform:rotate(180deg)
    }

    #mainwrapper{
	height:4000px;
    width:4000px;
    position:relative}
   
    #filler{
    position:relative;
    left:340px;
    top:85px
    }
   
    #filler {
    padding: 15px 25px;
    font-size: 24px;
    text-align: center;
    cursor: pointer;
    outline: none;
    color: #fff;
    background-color: #4CAF50;
    border: none;
    border-radius: 15px;
    box-shadow: 0 9px #999;
    }


    #filler:hover {background-color: #3e8e41}

    #filler:active {
    background-color: #3e8e41;
    box-shadow: 0 5px #666;
    transform: translateY(4px);
    }

Fix div element (#Getafix) position or add a z-index to button element (#filler).

Currently div element (#Getafix) is overlapped width button element and div element catch click event.

You need to change the stack order of the button , I have added z-index:99; to the #filler now its working

function myFunction() {
  $('#Asterisk').empty();
  for (var i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
    for (var a = i; a < 7; a++) {
      $('#Asterisk').append("*");
    }
    $('#Asterisk').append("<br>");
  }
}
#Obelix {
  border: 8px solid black;
  width: 400px;
  height: 200px;
  position: relative;
  left: 250px;
  top: 100px
}

#Getafix {
  width: 400px;
  height: 200px;
  position: relative;
  left: 75px;
  bottom: 126px
}

#Asterisk {
  position: relative;
  right: 325px;
  top: 10px;
  transform: rotate(180deg)
}

#mainwrapper {
  height: 4000px;
  width: 4000px;
  position: relative
}

#filler {
  position: relative;
  left: 340px;
  top: 85px;
  z-index:99;
}

#filler {
  padding: 15px 25px;
  font-size: 24px;
  text-align: center;
  cursor: pointer;
  outline: none;
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #4CAF50;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 15px;
  box-shadow: 0 9px #999;
}

#filler:hover {
  background-color: #3e8e41
}

#filler:active {
  background-color: #3e8e41;
  box-shadow: 0 5px #666;
  transform: translateY(4px);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<div id="mainwrapper">

  <body>
    <button id="filler" onclick="myFunction()"> Fill in the box </button>
    <div id="imgbox"> </div>
    <div id="Obelix">
      <div id="Asterisk"> </div>
      <div id="Getafix"> </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</div>
