CSS Absolute Positioning

An Example of CSS Absolute Positioning

Code:

  <div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; 
    background: #999966; left:100px; top:265px; width:380px; height:27px; z-index:1"> 
    Absolute postioning</div> 
	

The above code snippet demonstrates how we can position a div using CSS to any position on the page right down to the pixel! This type of control was not possible before CSS.

You can also position any HTML element with CSS positioning just as you would a div tag.

You can see in the example below how I positioned a paragraph (<p></p>) in the same way.

Code:

  
   <p style="position:absolute; background: #C5C5C5; 
    right:300px; top:700px; width:390px; height:27px; z-index:1"> A paragraph 
    positioned with CSS. </p>
