CSS position Property

The position Property

The position property specifies the type of

positioning method used for an element.
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.
This <div> element has position: relative;
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.
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: Absolute positioned elements are removed from
the normal flow, and can overlap elements.
position: sticky;

An element with position: sticky; is positioned

based on the user's scroll position.
A sticky element toggles between relative and
fixed, depending on the scroll position. It is
positioned relative until a given offset position is met in
the viewport - then it "sticks" in place (like
position:fixed).
You must specify at least one of top, right,
bottom or left for sticky positioning to
work.
