What types of positioning exist in CSS?
There are five types of positioning:
| Type | position value | Feature |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | static | Default, in the flow, coordinates do not work |
| 2 | relative | In the flow, but can be shifted relative to its initial position |
| 3 | absolute | Outside the flow, positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor |
| 4 | fixed | Outside the flow, fixed relative to the browser window |
| 5 | sticky | Partially in the flow, "sticks" to a given position on scroll |
Coordinates (top, right, bottom, left) can only be used with relative, absolute, fixed, and sticky.
