"Position in CSS is really that easy" - mate it's that easy for us because you put together & presented a absolutely top-tier lesson. Thanks for making these, they're incredibly well made and helpful!
1. static: Default one. 2. relative : Same as static. But lets you add top, right, bottom, left. Makes it move relative to it's normal position 3. absolute: Removes from the flow and positions absolute wrt to the parent. Parent has to be relative or absolute for top, right, bottom, left to work. Else it considers the main html element as the parent . 4. fixed : Fixed to a place. Doesn't give two shits about the parent. Always considers html element as the parent. Stays there when scrolled. 5. sticky : Relative ( when normal) + fixed ( when scrolled). The values for top, right, bottom, left become active when scrolled
Are you sure absolutely positioned element considers HTML the parent and not viewport? If you use "bottom: 0px" on it, it goes to the bottom of the screen, not bottom of the page.
@@Jamato-sUn Yes, it will consider the HTML element as the parent not the viewport, but only if none of the element's parents have their position set to a value other than static, otherwise the element will be positioned realtive to that parent instead of the HTML element.
Great sum up, but regarding 3, the parent position can be any value other than "static" and the element will be positioned relative to that parent, so it's not restricted to absolute and relative , but sticky and fixed works as well.
THE FIVE POSITIONS - Static Position: 0:40; - Relative Position: 1:07; - Absolute Position: 3:16; - Fixed Position: 6:34; - Sticky Position: 8:07; OTHERS ~ Devtool/Inspecting: 0:20; ~ Summary of static, relative, and absolute positions - 5:37; ~ Difference between Fixed and Absolute: 6:59 Like if this helped you out : )

However, as I progress further, I notice fewer of these comments, despite the channel being linked as frequently as before, if not more. It seems that many may have discontinued their learning journey :(
I'm so glad I found your channel, Kyle. It's been difficult really understanding CSS and in only a few minutes you are making it all clear. Thanks for truly simplifying the web for us!
I usually end up zoning out during lectures or tutorials even though I want to learn the material but to my surprise I didn't for this video. The pacing of your words and the tone of your voice is good. It felt weird to sit through something from beginning to end and actually absorb all the knowledge for once. lol
Been learning coding for a few weeks now. Positioning was the first thing i was struggling with in css. Since everything else i have learned and done so far was almost a cakewalk, i was surprised how hard something so simple can be. You video cleared a lot of things up for me and it actually isn't as complicated as i thought. Thank you. The visual part of your explanation was unbelievably helpful and spared me from having to try it out on my own to understand what each position does visually.
2:30 An important thing to note , is that although the relative element is taken out of the flow so to speak, it's space that it would sit it remains in place, this is why two and three don't jump up to the top.
Love the way you put the different pieces together. You actually do simplify topics that are not that complex. However other "teachers" tend to overcomplicate things either because they want to look smarter or they themself don't get it in the first place. Subscribed.
I agree with this statement. I watched a video which explained the same concepts in 1 hour and it was overly complicated. This video is the bullet points of that overly complicated tutorial but made simple like the title of the author.
I’m so glad I came across this. My classes had me very confused. They basically made us code whole websites but said “don’t worry about that too much” when they had to go into detail. My brain always has “but why?” in the back of my head so this is such a great explanation of things. Thank you!
This was the most concise intro to a web topic I have ever seen. Your style of teaching is awesome. Also no tangents, no "please subscribe" in the middle of the lesson. Awesome.
You have explained it better in 9 minutes more than I've understood in countless courses, videos and books. Would be interesting if you did a video on how you became a good teacher at all of this.
I search for a lot of websites to understand the difference between absolute and relative position in CSS. Yours makes me understand it better. Thank you
At first I went to W3Schools to learn about position but then the site was using so complicated words so I went to UA-cam and this is what came up first. I clicked on the video and you explained it so simply that I learned it in 15 minutes. I know that the video length is 9 minutes, but I needed that extra 6 minutes for replaying parts that I missed or I didn't understand. Again, thank you so much for creating this nice and simple explanatory video!
Actually, you saved my mind from collapsing, cause i was like about to explode by figuring it out myself. Thx a lot for good explanation, i wish you all the best, dude :-)
Whenever I see your video I immediately hit like without even watching it first because I am 100% sure your content would already be worth watching ads and clicking on them and then creating a fake email id and registring on those ad portals so you get my absolutely free tip that I share from heart. Always good quality content Love this!.

Whoa, this is the best video talking about positioning! It was well explained I understood everything about this. Thank you so much! You've helped me a lot! :D
0:40 - position static (default) 1:16 - position relative (same as static but you can change its top, bottom, right, leftrelatively to itself) 3:20 - position absolute (html acts as if the element is not there at first. It is positioned relatively to first parent that position differs from static) 6:40 - position fixed (Always relative to entire html. Fixed position at page. You can change its top, bottom etc) 7:55 - position sticky (combination of fixed and relative position. At a certain scroll, sticks to the page)
This Is'Absolutely'Great Video 'Relative' To Other Videos On UA-cam This One really 'Sticks Out'. It is 'Fixed' That I Am Gonna Watch All Your CSS Related Videos
Thanks mate! This is an eye-opening video! Thanks for the content. Though the source code wasn't as exact as the preview. Had to tweak it myself but loved it because I found a way out to get it done myself but might be a bit confusing for a beginner. But overall, thank you once again.
"Any element this is relatively positioned can have absolutely position elements inside of it that will be relative to that relative position element and that's works for every position not just for relative".
Just if you position an element as absolute it'll adjust to its container. The container can be either the viewport(the whole HTML) or the container element ONLY IF ITS POSITIONED. Hope this clears something for you guys
@@donotlook6048 so what your saying is that the reason the parent went to the top was because its container was the viewport, and the 1st child goes to the top of the parent because its the container and the other children in that case would go the top of the parent element? So by this reckoning if you changed all the children to absolute 0px, and the parent to absolute 0px, they would all align at the top of the viewport?
i basically didn't understand this at all in the last few years since i started learning css, and my professor explained it to me like three times, drawing it out, i watched youtube videos, read about it, practiced on my own, and this is the video that helped me understand. until now, i was just assigning positions at random until it "worked". thank you!!
You are a lifesaver. My job depended on me to learn a lot of languages in a short time to be versed with talking with clients. I ran through so many of your videos in a week and feel a lot more comfortable.
Same! I'm seeing less and less people from TOP lol, which back in the foundations used to get thousands of likes. Anyway how far are you in the course?
You're using terminology in a wrong and misleading manner... "position: relative" does NOT remove the element from the normal document flow, it retains the normal flow and shift's it's position *relative* to the "static" position. The concept of "removing an element from the document flow" affects other elements more than itself. So while you're correctly showing how each of the positioning rules could be used, I'm afraid your explanation of the reasons behind that behaviour is incorrect... To quote Mozilla's CSS "position" page regarding "position: relative": > The element is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset relative to itself based on the values of top, right, bottom, and left.
Indeed. A better explanation would be that giving an element a relative position leaves behind a "ghost" element in the same place in the document flow as when it had the "static" position, causing the other elements to take it into account in their positioning just as in the "static"; then the visible element is moved based on the values of top, right, bottom, and left. Oh, and the plural of "child" is "children", not "childs".
For anyone who can't quite wrap their heads around CSS positioning, I would honestly suggest you read the official MDN documentation... It's perfectly clear by itself and doesn't need any paraphrasing.
Mate, you are an absolute legend!. Excellent content to clear all of the confusions about CSS positioning in 9 min. Super glad that I found your channel. Thank you.
I learned css grid & flexbox to create layout and then stop learning css to quickly jump into javascript, until get stuck to relatively positioning element when creating responsive navbar, aaand this video save my day. Thanks Kyle!
For the past year I have been on and off learning CSS and the thing hindering me was my nonexisting understanding of relative and absolute. It made no sense to me whatsoever. It all makes sense now. 1 year of confusion gone. You are a true master of teaching.
