Learn CSS Position In 9 Minutes

[@gabrielgrill234]

"Position in CSS is really that easy" - mate it's that easy for us because you put together & presented a absolutely top-tier lesson. Thanks for making these, they're incredibly well made and helpful!

[@Ashish-_-]

1. static: Default one. 2. relative : Same as static. But lets you add top, right, bottom, left. Makes it move relative to it's normal position 3. absolute: Removes from the flow and positions absolute wrt to the parent. Parent has to be relative or absolute for top, right, bottom, left to work. Else it considers the main html element as the parent . 4. fixed : Fixed to a place. Doesn't give two shits about the parent. Always considers html element as the parent. Stays there when scrolled. 5. sticky : Relative ( when normal) + fixed ( when scrolled). The values for top, right, bottom, left become active when scrolled

[@priyanshu4016]

thanks ashish for notes :)

[@Jamato-sUn]

Are you sure absolutely positioned element considers HTML the parent and not viewport? If you use "bottom: 0px" on it, it goes to the bottom of the screen, not bottom of the page.

[@awabelmahe9700]

@@Jamato-sUn Yes, it will consider the HTML element as the parent not the viewport, but only if none of the element's parents have their position set to a value other than static, otherwise the element will be positioned realtive to that parent instead of the HTML element.

[@awabelmahe9700]

Great sum up, but regarding 3, the parent position can be any value other than "static" and the element will be positioned relative to that parent, so it's not restricted to absolute and relative , but sticky and fixed works as well.

[@BROOKnim]

one thing to note is sticky acts as fixed when scrolled away from its orginal place. but it leaves the screen if its parent also leaves the screen

2:30 An important thing to note , is that although the relative element is taken out of the flow so to speak, it's space that it would sit it remains in place, this is why two and three don't jump up to the top.

The pacing of your words and the tone of your voice is good. It felt weird to sit through something from beginning to end and actually absorb all the knowledge for once. lol

[@jotarokujo312]

I discovered this channel through The Odin Project. Thanks for these amazing informative content. Funny thing is, initially many comments like "who came from The Odin Project?" were common under the foundational videos linked in the course. However, as I progress further, I notice fewer of these comments, despite the channel being linked as frequently as before, if not more. It seems that many may have discontinued their learning journey :(

[@jasonhensley7762]

@@donotlook6048 so what your saying is that the reason the parent went to the top was because its container was the viewport, and the 1st child goes to the top of the parent because its the container and the other children in that case would go the top of the parent element? So by this reckoning if you changed all the children to absolute 0px, and the parent to absolute 0px, they would all align at the top of the viewport?

[@bashehu]

Where are my Odin bro's?

[@AndreGreeff]

You're using terminology in a wrong and misleading manner... "position: relative" does NOT remove the element from the normal document flow, it retains the normal flow and shift's it's position *relative* to the "static" position. The concept of "removing an element from the document flow" affects other elements more than itself. So while you're correctly showing how each of the positioning rules could be used, I'm afraid your explanation of the reasons behind that behaviour is incorrect... To quote Mozilla's CSS "position" page regarding "position: relative": > The element is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset relative to itself based on the values of top, right, bottom, and left.

[@leisti]

Indeed. A better explanation would be that giving an element a relative position leaves behind a "ghost" element in the same place in the document flow as when it had the "static" position, causing the other elements to take it into account in their positioning just as in the "static"; then the visible element is moved based on the values of top, right, bottom, and left. Oh, and the plural of "child" is "children", not "childs".

[@mohanbarman5982]

Yes, you are absolutely right.

absolute: stuck to the document(think paper) fixed: stuck to the screen(think glass pane on top of paper) sticky: rides on the page and stops when it hits the edge of screen.
