Positioning Elements
CSS provides several methods for positioning elements on a web page.
Static Positioning
Static is the default position value. Elements are positioned according to the normal flow of the document.
div {
position: static;
}
Relative Positioning
Elements are positioned relative to their normal position.
div {
position: relative;
top: 10px;
left: 20px;
}
Absolute Positioning
Elements are positioned relative to their nearest positioned ancestor.
div {
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
left: 40px;
}
Fixed Positioning
Elements are positioned relative to the browser window.
div {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
Sticky Positioning
Elements are toggled between relative and fixed, depending on the user’s scroll position.
div {
position: sticky;
top: 0;
}
