The Position CSS Property

Specifying element position

By using the position CSS property, you can define how a certain HTML element is positioned in the document:

h2 {      
   position: absolute;      
   left: 100px;      
   top: 150px;   
}

The syntax for CSS position property

To define the element's position in CSS, you need to choose one out of five available values:
