Relative Positioning Explained

Relative positioning allows us to position an element visually relative to its original positioning. At the same time, the neighboring elements do not take the element's place.

position: relative;

We can use the properties of top, left, bottom, and right to indicate the visual displacement of an element with respect to its initial position. The values can be positive and negative in different units (px, %, etc.). Let's run the following example to see what effect we can get:

Note

It is essential to mention that there is no need to specify all top, bottom, left, and right properties for the element with the position value that differs from the static. It is enough to set one property for the vertical positioning (top or bottom) and one for the horizontal positioning (left or right).
