Postioning (1/40)
What is the position property in CSS used for?
    Understanding the CSS `position` Property

    The `position` property in CSS specifies how an element is positioned in the document. It determines how the element interacts with other elements and how it is displayed within the layout.

    Position Property Values
    • **static** – Default positioning; elements follow normal document flow.
    • **relative** – Positions the element relative to its normal position. Offsets can be applied using `top`, `right`, `bottom`, `left`.
    • **absolute** – Positions the element relative to the nearest positioned ancestor. Removed from normal document flow.
    • **fixed** – Positions the element relative to the viewport. It remains in place even when scrolling.
    • **sticky** – Acts like `relative` until a scroll threshold is reached, then behaves like `fixed`. Useful for sticky headers or elements.
    Example: Using Different Position Values

    The `position` property is essential for controlling element layout, creating overlays, sticky headers, modals, and responsive designs where precise placement is required.

    Best Practices
    • Use `relative` to adjust elements without removing them from flow.
    • Combine `absolute` with a positioned parent for predictable placement.
    • Use `fixed` for elements that should remain visible on scroll.
    • Test `sticky` on various browsers; ensure the parent has sufficient height.
    • Avoid overusing absolute positioning for entire layouts to maintain responsiveness.
