Absolute Positioning

The position property allows you to move elements relative to: their current place in the document (relative), a parent element (absolute), or the viewport (fixed). Here we’ll be covering absolute position.

Absolute-positioned elements are completely removed from the document flow, so they no long touch or push other elements around them. They're pinned to the first parent element that has position relative, absolute, or fixed enabled.
