Positioning in CSS

 Positioning in CSS

The position property allows you to position an element relative to its parent element or to the viewport. There are several values you can use for the position property:

static: The default value. The element is positioned according to the normal flow of the document.

relative: The element is positioned relative to its normal position.

absolute: The element is positioned relative to its closest positioned ancestor.

fixed: The element is positioned relative to the viewport and will not move when the page is scrolled.

Here's an example of how to use the position property to position an element:

css

.box {

  position: absolute;

  top: 50%;

  left: 50%;

  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

}

This will position the .box element in the center of its closest positioned ancestor, which could be the body element or another parent element.
