||
Places an element relative to its nearest positioned ancestor or the browser window. If an element has `position: absolute`; declared, it is removed from the normal document flow, so it does not affect the layout of surrounding elements. | ||
|
||
## Syntax | ||
|
||
```css | ||
position: absolute; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
When an element is set to `position: absolute`, the `top`, `right`, `bottom`, and `left` properties can be used to offset it from its normal position: | ||
|
||
```css | ||
selector { | ||
position: absolute; | ||
top: <length>; | ||
right: <length>; | ||
bottom: <length>; | ||
left: <length>; | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
- A `<length>` is a measurable property it can have values such as `2px`, `30em`, and `10pt`. | ||
|
||
## Example 1 | ||
|
||
This example shows how absolute positioning works when the element is positioned relative to its parent container. By setting `top: 0` and `left: 0`, the `.box` sticks to the top-left corner of its parent. The `top`, `left`, `right`, or `bottom` can be adjusted to move it anywhere within the parent. | ||
|
||
```html | ||
<div class="container"> | ||
<div class="box">Absolutely Positioned</div> | ||
</div> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```css | ||
.container { | ||
position: relative; /* Important: This makes .box position relative to .container */ | ||
|
||
/* Optional styles for the example */ | ||
width: 500px; | ||
height: 300px; | ||
background-color: #e9ecef; | ||
border-radius: 8px; | ||
border: 1px solid #dee2e6; | ||
margin: 100px auto; | ||
box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); | ||
} | ||
|
||
.box { | ||
position: absolute; | ||
top: 0px; | ||
left: 0px; | ||
|
||
/* Optional styles for the example */ | ||
width: 200px; | ||
height: 120px; | ||
background-color: #495057; | ||
color: #f8f9fa; | ||
display: flex; | ||
justify-content: center; | ||
align-items: center; | ||
font-size: 18px; | ||
border-radius: 4px; | ||
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Here's what the above example's output would look like: | ||

|
||
## Example 2 | ||
|
||
In the below example the parent container doesn't have `position: relative` (or any positioning), so the element with `position: absolute` will stick to the browser window. | ||
|
||
```html | ||
<div class="container"> | ||
<div class="box">Absolutely Positioned</div> | ||
</div> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```css | ||
.container { | ||
/* position: relative; */ | ||
|
||
/* Optional styles for the example */ | ||
width: 500px; | ||
height: 300px; | ||
background-color: #e9ecef; | ||
border-radius: 8px; | ||
border: 1px solid #dee2e6; | ||
margin: 100px auto; | ||
box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); | ||
} | ||
|
||
.box { | ||
position: absolute; | ||
top: 0px; | ||
left: 0px; | ||
|
||
/* Optional styles for the example */ | ||
width: 200px; | ||
height: 120px; | ||
background-color: #495057; | ||
color: #f8f9fa; | ||
display: flex; | ||
justify-content: center; | ||
align-items: center; | ||
font-size: 18px; | ||
border-radius: 4px; | ||
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Here's what the above examples look like: | ||
