  • The position property specifies the type of  positioning method used for an element (static, relative, fixed, absolute or  sticky).

  • There are five different position values:

     
     
    • static
     
    • relative
     
    • fixed
     
    • absolute
     
    • sticky
  • Elements are then positioned using the top, bottom, left, and right  properties. However, these properties will not work unless the position  property is set first. They also work differently depending on the position  value.

  • position: static;

     

    HTML elements are positioned static by default.

     

    Static positioned elements are not affected by the top, bottom, left, and right properties.

     

    An element with position: static; is not positioned in any special way; it is  always positioned according to the normal flow of the page:

  • position: relative;

     

    An element with position: relative; is positioned relative to its normal position.

     

    Setting the top, right, bottom, and left properties of a relatively-positioned element will cause it to be adjusted away from its normal position. Other content will not be adjusted to fit into any gap left by the  element.

  • position: fixed;

     

    An element with position: fixed; is positioned relative to the viewport, which means it always  stays in the same place even if the page is scrolled. The top,  right, bottom, and left properties are used to position the element.

  • position: absolute;

     

    An element with position: absolute; is positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor  (instead of positioned relative to the viewport, like fixed).

  • position: sticky;

     

    An element with position: sticky; is positioned based on the user's scroll position.

  "CSS Layout - The position Property
  
  The position property specifies the type of positioning method used for an element (static, relative, fixed or absolute).
  The position Property
  
  The position property specifies the type of positioning method used for an element.
  
  There are four different position values:
  
  static
  relative
  fixed
  absolute
  
  Elements are then positioned using the top, bottom, left, and right properties. However, these properties will not work unless the position property is set first. They also work differently depending on the position value.
  position: static;
  
  HTML elements are positioned static by default.
  
  Static positioned elements are not affected by the top, bottom, left, and right properties.
  
  An element with position: static; is not positioned in any special way; it is always positioned according to the normal flow of the page:
  This <div> element has position: static;
  
  Here is the CSS that is used:
  Example
  div.static {
  position: static;
  border: 3px solid #73AD21;
  }
  position: relative;
  
  An element with position: relative; is positioned relative to its normal position.
  
  Setting the top, right, bottom, and left properties of a relatively-positioned element will cause it to be adjusted away from its normal position. Other content will not be adjusted to fit into any gap left by the element.
  This <div> element has position: relative;
  
  Here is the CSS that is used:
  Example
  div.relative {
  position: relative;
  left: 30px;
  border: 3px solid #73AD21;
  }
  position: fixed;
  
  An element with position: fixed; is positioned relative to the viewport, which means it always stays in the same place even if the page is scrolled. The top, right, bottom, and left properties are used to position the element.
  
  A fixed element does not leave a gap in the page where it would normally have been located.
  
  Notice the fixed element in the lower-right corner of the page. Here is the CSS that is used:
  Example
  div.fixed {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 0;
  right: 0;
  width: 300px;
  border: 3px solid #73AD21;
  }
  This <div> element has position: fixed;
  position: absolute;
  
  An element with position: absolute; is positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor (instead of positioned relative to the viewport, like fixed).
  
  However; if an absolute positioned element has no positioned ancestors, it uses the document body, and moves along with page scrolling.
  
  Note: A "positioned" element is one whose position is anything except static.
  
  Here is a simple example:
  This <div> element has position: relative;
  This <div> element has position: absolute;
  
  Here is the CSS that is used:
  Example
  div.relative {
  position: relative;
  width: 400px;
  height: 200px;
  border: 3px solid #73AD21;
  }
  
  div.absolute {
  position: absolute;
  top: 80px;
  right: 0;
  width: 200px;
  height: 100px;
  border: 3px solid #73AD21;
  }
  Overlapping Elements
  
  When elements are positioned, they can overlap other elements.
  
  The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element (which element should be placed in front of, or behind, the others).
  
  An element can have a positive or negative stack order:
  This is a heading
  
  Because the image has a z-index of -1, it will be placed behind the text.
  Example
  img {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
  z-index: -1;
  }
  
  An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.
  
  Note: If two positioned elements overlap without a z-index specified, the element positioned last in the HTML code will be shown on top.

  • Fixed Positioning

     

    An element with fixed position is positioned relative to the browser window.

     

    It will not move even if the window is scrolled:

     

    Example    p.pos_fixed  {  position:fixed;  top:30px;  right:5px;  }   Try it yourself »

      

    Note: Internet Explorer supports the fixed value only if a !DOCTYPE is  specified.

      

    Fixed positioned elements are removed from the normal flow. The  document and other elements behave like the fixed positioned element does not  exist.
  • Fixed positioned elements  can overlap other elements.

  • Relative Positioning

     

    A relative positioned element is positioned relative to its normal position.

     

    Example    h2.pos_left  {  position:relative;  left:-20px;  }  h2.pos_right  {  position:relative;  left:20px;  }   Try it yourself »

      

    The content of a relatively positioned elements  can be moved and overlap other elements, but the reserved space for the element  is still preserved in the normal flow.

  • Absolute Positioning

     

    An absolute position element is positioned relative to the first parent element that has a position other  than static. If no such element is found, the containing block is <html>:

     

    Example    h2  {  position:absolute;  left:100px;  top:150px;  }   Try it yourself »

     

    Absolutely positioned elements are removed from the normal flow. The  document and other elements behave like the absolutely positioned element does not  exist.
  • Absolutely positioned elements  can overlap other elements.

  • Overlapping Elements

     

    When elements are positioned outside the normal flow, they can  overlap other elements.

     

    The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element (which element should be placed  in front of, or behind, the others).

     

    An element can have a positive or negative stack order:

     

    Example    img  {  position:absolute;  left:0px;  top:0px;  z-index:-1  }   Try it yourself »

     

    An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.
  • Note: If two positioned elements overlap, without a z-index  specified, the element positioned last in the HTML code will be shown on top.
