Button positioning in completely wrong place to where it should

Question

I've got a webpage with 2 different sections. Each are the height of the viewport. One has a button 'work' in the center. When this is clicked, that disappears and some links appear where it was. The same sort of thing applies for the next section.

I'm trying to add a reset function to remove the links and add the buttons back. I originally tried to make one button reset all sections but, after that didn't work, I'm now trying to make an individual button for each section.

I've done this but my problem is that the second section's reset button appears in the same place as the first section's one. Both should appear at the bottom right section of their respective sections.

function openSites(categoryType) {
  if (categoryType == "work") {
    var sites = document.getElementById("workSites");
    var button = document.getElementById("workButton");
  } else if (categoryType == "other") {
    var sites = document.getElementById("otherSites");
    var button = document.getElementById("otherButton");
  }
  sites.classList.add("show");
  sites.classList.remove("hide");
  button.classList.add("hide");
}

function reset(categoryType) {
  if (categoryType == "work") {
    var sites = document.getElementById("workSites");
    var button = document.getElementById("workButton");
  } else if (categoryType == "other") {
    var sites = document.getElementById("otherSites");
    var button = document.getElementById("otherButton");
  }
  sites.classList.remove("show");
  sites.classList.add("hide");
  button.classList.remove("hide");
}

function betterReset() {
  for (category in document.getElementsByClassName("category-container")) {
    document.write(category);
  }
}

You are giving a position:absolute tu your reset buttons. This make them take the values of right and bottom relative to next parent with position:relative.In this case being the body tag.

To fix this, add position:relative to your parent divs.

#workSites,
#otherSites {
  position: relative;
}

Hope this helps :>

                    var button = document.getElementById("workButton");
