Definition and usage
The position attribute specifies the positioning type of the element.
Description
This attribute defines the positioning mechanism used to establish the layout of the element. Any element can be positioned, but absolute or fixed elements generate a block-level box, regardless of the type of the element itself. A relatively positioned element is offset from its default position in normal flow.
