Abstract
Elements can be positioned accurately on a web page by using CSS styling. The two types of positioning are Absolute positioning and Relative positioning. You used absolute positioning in many of the previous projects; this enabled you to locate an element (such as the header text) at a fixed position relative to the top and left edges of a browser’s viewport. Relative positioning moves an element from where it would normally appear on the page. Several other positioning techniques are also described in this chapter.
