Position, Float and Inline-Block: By: Group 1

The document discusses CSS positioning, floating, and inline-blocking. It defines the position property and its static, relative, fixed, and absolute values. Static elements are unaffected by positioning while relative is positioned relative to its normal position. Fixed is positioned relative to the viewport and absolute is positioned relative to its nearest positioned ancestor. It also defines the float property for wrapping text around elements and the clear property for controlling floated elements. Inline-blocking allows elements to have width and height like blocks while remaining inline.

POSITION, FLOAT AND INLINE-BLOCK

BY: GROUP 1

WHAT IS CSS Position?

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

WHAT IS POSITION STATIC?

 Static positioned elements are not affected by the top,
bottom, left, and right properties. (Adjustable on Width
and Height)
 An element with position: static; is not positioned in any
special way; it is always positioned according to the
normal flow of the page:

WHAT IS 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.
WHAT IS 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.

WHAT IS POSITION ABSOLUTE?

 An element with position: absolute; is positioned
relative to the nearest positioned ancestor (instead of
positioned relative to the viewport, like fixed).
WHAT IS CSS FLOAT AND CLEAR?
 The float property specifies whether or not an element
should float.
 The clear property is used to control the behavior of
floating elements.

WHAT IS FLOAT PROPERTY?

 In its simplest use, the float property can be used to
wrap text around images.

WHAT IS CLEAR PROPERTY?

 The clear property is used to control the behavior of
floating elements.
 Elements after a floating element will flow around it. To
avoid this, use the clear property.
 The clear property specifies on which sides of an
element floating elements are not allowed to float.

WHAT IS CLEARFIX HACK-OVERFLOW: AUTO; ?

 If an element is taller than the element containing it,
and it is floated, it will overflow outside of its container.
WHAT IS INLINE-BLOCK?
 It has been possible for a long time to create a grid of
boxes that fills the browser width and wraps nicely
(when the browser is resized), by using the float
property.
 However, the inline-block value of the display property
makes this even easier.
 inline-block elements are like inline elements but they
can have a width and a height.
