Absolute Positioning in CSS
With absolute positioning, an element is positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor.
Example
Let us now see an example −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> div.demo1 { position: relative; color: white; background-color: orange; border: 2px dashed blue; width: 600px; height: 200px; } div.demo2 { position: absolute; color: white; background-color: orange; border: 2px dashed blue; top: 50px; right: 0; width: 300px; height: 100px; } </style> </head> <body> <h2>Demo Heading</h2> <p>This is demo text.</p> <p>This is demo text.</p> <p>This is demo text.</p> <p>This is demo text.</p> <div class="demo1">position: relative; <div class="demo2"> position: absolute; </div> </div> <p>This is another demo text.</p> <p>This is demo text.</p> <p>This is demo text.</p> </body> </html>
