Position Property.
The position property specifies the type of positioning
method used for an element.
Syntax (position: value)
• There are four different position values:
static : Syntax (position: static);
relative : Syntax (position: relative);
fixed : Syntax (position: fixed);
absolute : Syntax (position: 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.

Properties And Values
Value Description
Static Elements renders(in a particular way) in order, as they appear in the
document flow. This is default
Relative The element is positioned relative to its normal position, so "left:20"
adds 20 pixels to the element's LEFT position
Absolute The element is positioned relative to its first positioned (not static)
ancestor element
Fixed The element is positioned relative to the browser window

Static
• HTML elements are positioned static by default.
• Static positioned elements are not affected by the top,
bottom, left, and right properties .
• NORMAL FLOW: When top=bottom=right=left=0px;
• An element with position: static; is not positioned in any
special way; it is always positioned according to the normal
flow of the page.
• That means if we initialize left: 10px. It won’t make a
difference as the object will be placed acc to the normal flow
of the page.

<html>
<head>
<style>
div.static {
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
left: 80px;
position: static;
}
div.static1{
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
left: 30px;
position: static;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>position: static;</h2>
We have created two division classes
named as static and static1 also we have
mentioned the box dimensions and
color.
<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">
</div>
<div class="static1">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Calling of div classes
One is static and other
is static1.

As we have first mentioned the Yellow
Box class therefore Yellow Box appears
first and then Blue one.
This is called as NORMAL FLOW of the
page means moving from top to bottom.
Static position means that both the
Boxes are static with respect to the
normal flow of the
page(height=width=top=bottom=0) that
means whatever is written first in the
code will be represented first.
The object should be shifted by 10px to
left but it didn’t because the position is
static so it (obj) will be located acc to
the normal flow of the page.

Relative
• An element with position: relative; is positioned
relative to its normal position ( top = bottom =
left =right=0).
• That means if we initialize left:10px . The object will
be shifted by 10px to left with respect to (relative)
the normal flow of the page.
• 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.

div.relative {

div.relative1{

named as relative and relative1 also we
have mentioned the box dimensions and
color.

<h1>position: relative;</h2>
<p>An element with position:
relative; is positioned relative to its
normal position:</p>
<div class=“relative">
</div>
<div class=“relative1">
</div>
</body>
</html>
One is relative and
other is relative1.

Both the boxes are
relative with the normal
flow of the page. So
when we set left:80 and
left:30 for yellow and
blue box , the blue box
got shifted to left by
30px and the yellow box
got shifted to left by
80px.

Absolute
• An element with position: absolute; is positioned
relative to the nearest positioned ancestor
(instead of positioned relative to the viewport,
like fixed).
• VIEWPORT: The viewport is the user's visible area
of a web page.
• However; if an absolute positioned element has
no positioned ancestors, it uses the document
body, and moves along with page scrolling.

named as absolute and absolute1 also
we have mentioned the box dimensions
and color.
The div tag for both the boxes are
opened and closed separately
therefore no effect of absolute
position is showcased here

80px
20px
As both the boxes have
separate opening and
closing of div classes so
there is no effect of
ABSOLUTE position on the
blue box. Therefore the
blue box is shifted to left
by 20px with respect to
the document body
instead of the yellow box.

The correct code..

The div class for the

Therefore , the blue

The ancestral object i.e. yellow box
is positioned relative so the blue
box will be positioned acc to the
yellow box(ancestral obj) that
means blue box will shift left by

not the document body or normal

Yellow box is static therefore
It is relative to the normal flow
of the page .
Position of blue box is ABSOLOUTE
so it will be positioned acc to its
ancestor obj(yellow box) . But
yellow box is static so, blue box will
be positioned acc to the document
body i.e. 50px left from the web
page .

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.
