Possible Values
| Value |
Description |
| static |
Default. An element with position: static always has the
position the normal flow of the page gives it (a static element ignores any
top, bottom, left, or right declarations) |
| relative |
An element with position: relative moves an element relative to its normal position, so "left:20"
adds 20 pixels to the element's LEFT position |
| absolute |
An element with position: absolute is positioned at the
specified coordinates relative to its containing block. The element's position is specified with the
"left", "top", "right", and
"bottom" properties |
| fixed |
An element with position: fixed is positioned at the
specified coordinates relative to the browser window. The element's position is specified with the
"left", "top", "right", and
"bottom" properties. The element remains at that position
regardless of scrolling. Works in IE7 (strict mode) |
