Study Notes

Positioning Properties

The fixed positioning property is used to lay out an element relative to the entire browser window.
Absolute positioning removes an element from the normal flow of the page, making it independent of the other elements.
The top and left CSS properties are used to set the top-left corner position of an element with absolute positioning.
When using absolute positioning, the space occupied by the element is removed from the normal flow of the page, and the surrounding elements will collapse to fill the space.
The relative positioning property is similar to absolute positioning, but the offset is relative to the original position of the element, rather than the entire browser window.
