Figure 9-10
The page title in its default static position.
In Figure 9-11, I gave the
<h1>
a
top
value of
30px
. This value moved the page title 30px, relative to the top of its
normal position.
Note the only difference between Figure 9-10 and Figure 9-11 is the position of the text—the area taken up by the
<h1>
element doesn't change. The flow of the document isn't affected because the page title's normal position re-
mains in flow and in the same position, so although the text is offset, the contents below aren't affected in any way.
When an element is
position: relative;
,
top
,
left
,
right
, and
bottom
offset that element relative to
the top, left, right, and bottom of the normal position, respectively.
