Positioning & Displays
The CSS position property specifies the type of positioning method used for an element (static, relative, absolute, fixed, or sticky), while display governs block/inline layouts.

We are crafting this tutorial
Our team is working on interactive diagrams, code challenges, and exercises for Positioning & Displays. Check back soon for the full guide!
What You'll Learn
- 1Exploring Display block, inline, inline-block, and display: none overrides
- 2Understanding Position: static layout default vs relative offsets
- 3Absolute positioning: placing overlays relative to their parent containers
- 4Viewport positioning: fixed components vs sticky scroll-locked anchors
- 5Overlapping layers: calculating index levels with z-index values

/* Anchor element context for relative offsets */
.parent-container {
position: relative;
height: 120px;
}
/* Absolute box placed relative to parent bottom-right */
.absolute-badge {
position: absolute;
bottom: 8px;
right: 8px;
z-index: 10; /* Stack above parent elements */
