Learn CSS Today Course: courses.webdevsimplified.com/...
Chances are you have heard of relative and absolute position in CSS, but did you know there are still three other positions? In this video I will be covering all five CSS positions (static, relative, absolute, fixed, and sticky) by showing you examples of each position and comparing them with each other.
This video may be short, but I cover everything about each CSS position in this video, so you can learn everything you need to know about CSS position. By the end of this video you will have a deep understanding of the interactions between the different CSS positions, so you can effectively use them in your next project.

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

You video cleared a lot of things up for me and it actually isn't as complicated as i thought. Thank you. The visual part of your explanation was unbelievably helpful and spared me from having to try it out on my own to understand what each position does visually.

Just if you position an element as absolute it'll adjust to its container. The container can be either the viewport(the whole HTML) or the container element ONLY IF ITS POSITIONED. Hope this clears something for you guys

[@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?
