Positioning
The CSS positioning properties allow you to position an element. It can also place an element behind another, and specify what should happen when an element's content is too big.
Elements can be positioned using the top, bottom, left, and right properties. However, these properties will not work unless the position property is set first. They also work differently depending on the positioning method.
There are four different positioning methods.
Static Positioning
HTML elements are positioned static by default. A static positioned element is always positioned according to the normal flow of the page.
Static positioned elements are not affected by the top, bottom, left, and right properties.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
h2
{
position:absolute;
left:100px;
top:150px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>This is a heading with an absolute position</h2>
<p>With absolute positioning, an element can be placed anywhere on a page. The heading below is placed 100px from the left of the page and 150px from the top of the page.</p>
</body>
</html>
Fixed Positioning
An element with fixed position is positioned relative to the browser window.
It will not move even if the window is scrolled:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<style type="text/css">
p.pos_fixed
{
position:fixed;
top:30px;
right:5px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="pos_fixed">Some more text</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> IE7 and IE8 supports the fixed value only if a
!DOCTYPE is specified.</p>
<p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p><p>Some text</p>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
h2.pos_left
{
position:relative;
left:-20px;
}
h2.pos_right
{
position:relative;
left:20px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>This is a heading with no position</h2>
<h2 class="pos_left">This heading is moved left according to its normal position</h2>
<h2 class="pos_right">This heading is moved right according to its normal position</h2>
<p>Relative positioning moves an element RELATIVE to its original position.</p>
<p>The style "left:-20px" subtracts 20 pixels from the element's original left position.</p>
<p>The style "left:20px" adds 20 pixels to the element's original left position.</p>
</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
img
{
position:absolute;
left:0px;
top:0px;
z-index:-1;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<img src="w3css.gif" width="100" height="140" />
<p>Because the image has a z-index of -1, it will be placed behind the text.</p>
</body>
</html>
