📄️ Intro
The position property in CSS is used to control the positioning of an element within its containing element. It's a fundamental concept for layout design and can be particularly useful for creating complex layouts and interactive features.
📄️ Static Position
The position static;, it is positioned according to the normal document flow, meaning it will be displayed in the order it appears in the source code, affected by other block-level and inline elements around it.
📄️ Relative Position
The position static;, which is the default and doesn't allow for positioning adjustments via offset properties, position: relative; enables you to move an element from its normal position using the top, right, bottom, and left properties.
📄️ Absolute Position
The position: absolute; value in CSS is used to remove an element from the normal document flow and position it relative to its nearest positioned ancestor or, if none exists, the initial containing block (usually the viewport). This positioning method is powerful for creating complex layouts and UI components.
📄️ Fixed Position
The position: fixed; value in CSS is used to position an element relative to the browser window or viewport. Unlike other positioning methods, a fixed element does not move when the user scrolls the page, making it ideal for creating sticky headers, footers, or sidebars.
📄️ Sticky Position
The position sticky; behaves like a relatively positioned element until it crosses a specified threshold, at which point it becomes fixed. This is particularly useful for creating sticky headers, sidebars, or navigation elements that scroll with the content until a certain point.
