Position type in html

CSS Layout — The position Property

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

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:

Here is the CSS that is used:

Example

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.

Here is the CSS that is used:

Example

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:

Example

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.

Here is the CSS that is used:

Example

div.relative <
position: relative;
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
border: 3px solid #73AD21;
>

div.absolute position: absolute;
top: 80px;
right: 0;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
border: 3px solid #73AD21;
>

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).

Note: Internet Explorer does not support sticky positioning. Safari requires a -webkit- prefix (see example below). You must also specify at least one of top , right , bottom or left for sticky positioning to work.

In this example, the sticky element sticks to the top of the page ( top: 0 ), when you reach its scroll position.

Example

div.sticky <
position: -webkit-sticky; /* Safari */
position: sticky;
top: 0;
background-color: green;
border: 2px solid #4CAF50;
>

position

Устанавливает способ позиционирования элемента относительно окна браузера или других объектов на веб-странице.

Синтаксис

position: absolute | fixed | relative | static | inherit

Значения

absolute Указывает, что элемент абсолютно позиционирован, при этом другие элементы отображаются на веб-странице словно абсолютно позиционированного элемента и нет. Положение элемента задается свойствами left , top , right и bottom , также на положение влияет значение свойства position родительского элемента. Так, если у родителя значение position установлено как static или родителя нет, то отсчет координат ведется от края окна браузера. Если у родителя значение position задано как fixed , relative или absolute , то отсчет координат ведется от края родительского элемента. fixed По своему действию это значение близко к absolute , но в отличие от него привязывается к указанной свойствами left , top , right и bottom точке на экране и не меняет своего положения при прокрутке веб-страницы. Браузер Firefox вообще не отображает полосы прокрутки, если положение элемента задано фиксированным, и оно не помещается целиком в окно браузера. В браузере Opera хотя и показываются полосы прокрутки, но они никак не влияют на позицию элемента. relative Положение элемента устанавливается относительно его исходного места. Добавление свойств left , top , right и bottom изменяет позицию элемента и сдвигает его в ту или иную сторону от первоначального расположения. static Элементы отображаются как обычно. Использование свойств left , top , right и bottom не приводит к каким-либо результатам. inherit Наследует значение родителя.

Position type in html

The (or ) CSS data type denotes a two-dimensional coordinate used to set a location relative to an element box. It is used in the background-position and offset-anchor properties.

Note: The final position described by the value does not need to be inside the element’s box.

Syntax

The data type is specified with one or two keywords, with optional offsets.

The keyword values are center , top , right , bottom , and left . Each keyword represents either an edge of the element’s box or the center line between two edges. Depending on the context, center represents either the center between the left and right edges, or the center between the top and bottom edges.

If only a single offset value is specified, it defines the x-coordinate, with the value for the other axis defaulting to center .

/* 1-value syntax */ keyword /* Either the horizontal or vertical position; the other axis defaults to center */ value /* The position on the x-axis; the y-axis defaults to 50% */ /* 2-value syntax */ keyword keyword /* A keyword for each direction (the order is irrelevant) */ keyword value /* A keyword for horizontal position, value for vertical position */ value keyword /* A value for horizontal position, keyword for vertical position */ value value /* A value for each direction (horizontal then vertical) */ /* 4-value syntax */ keyword value keyword value /* Each value is an offset from the keyword that precedes it */ 

Note: The background-position property also accepts a three-value syntax. This is not allowed in other properties that use .

Interpolation

When animated, a point’s abscissa and ordinate values are interpolated independently. However, because the speed of the interpolation is determined by a single easing function for both coordinates, the point will move in a straight line.

Formal syntax

=
[ left | center | right ] || [ top | center | bottom ] |
[ left | center | right | ] [ top | center | bottom | ]? |
[ [ left | right ] ] && [ [ top | bottom ] ]

=
|

Examples

Valid positions

center left center top right 8.5% bottom 12vmin right -6px 10% 20% 8rem 14px

Invalid positions

left right bottom top 10px 15px 20px 15px
