Description:
This defines the positioning scheme used to lay out an element. Any element may be positioned, although elements positioned with absolute or fixed will generate a block-level box regardless of what kind of element it is. An element that is relatively positioned is offset from its default placement in the normal flow.
Examples:
#footer {position: fixed; bottom: 0;}
*.offset {position: relative; top: 0.5em;}Supported by:
Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari.
Note:
Fixed positioning is supported in Explorer only for versions 7 and later.
