Positioning in CSS

The position property in CSS defines how an element is positioned on a page, with five possible values: static, relative, fixed, absolute, and sticky. Each positioning method affects how the top, bottom, left, and right properties are applied, with static being the default and not influenced by these properties. Fixed positioning keeps an element in a constant location relative to the viewport, even during scrolling, without leaving a gap in the document flow.

absolute or sticky).

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:
This <div> element has position: static;
Here is the CSS that is used:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
[Link] {
position: static;
border: 3px solid #73AD21;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>position: static;</h2>
<p>An element with position: static; is not positioned in any special way; it is always positioned
according to the normal flow of the page:</p>
<div class="static">
This div element has position: static;
</div>
</body>
</html>
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:
<style>
[Link] {
position:fixed;
border: 3px solid pink;
}
</style>
