Standards. Standards. CSS-Tricks. Learn CSS Positioning in Ten Steps. 1. position:static The default positioning for all elements is position:static, which means the element is not positioned and occurs where it normally would in the document.
Normally you wouldn't specify this unless you needed to override a positioning that had been previously set. 2. position:relative If you specify position:relative, then you can use top or bottom, and left or right to move the element relative to where it would normally occur in the document. Let's move div-1 down 20 pixels, and to the left 40 pixels: Notice the space where div-1 normally would have been if we had not moved it: now it is an empty space. It appears that position:relative is not very useful, but it will perform an important task later in this tutorial.
Understanding z-index. How to use it The six color boxes (A, a, B, b, C, c) are "draggable", which means you can use your mouse to position them anywhere in the page.The input elements in the colored fieldsets below let you set z-index and position values for each one of these six boxes.
These fieldsets are color coded, which means a fieldset's background color matches the background color of the box it is supposed to style. Set and reset Things to keep in mind: The z-index value is set once the input field loses focus or if the user presses the enter key while the caret is in that field, so you need to type some value and then TAB out of the box (or click outside of that box) for the new value to "kick-in".Dragging a box makes its position relative (note that the relevant radio button is "checked" only after that box is "dropped").The "set" and "reset" links above allow you to remove the negative margin applied by default to box A, B, C and also let you revert the document to its original state.
