HTML Box

A helpful way to understand CSS is to imagine a box surrounding every HTML element

<body>
    <h1>Far Far Away</h1>

    <p>Far far away, <em>behind the word mountains</em>, far from the 
    countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. 
    Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the 
    Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows 
    by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.</p>

    <p>It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences
     fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful <strong>Pointing</strong> 
    has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life. 
    One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum 
    decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.</p>

    <p>The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of 
    bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the 
    <strong>Little Blind Text</strong> didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, 
    put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.</p>

A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

h1
{

}

Relative Positioning

Move element in relation to where it would have been in normal flow

Absolute Positioning

Box is taken out of normal flow - Does not affect position of other elements

Box offsets (top, left, bottom, right) used to specify where it should appear relative to container

Overlapping Elements

For Relative, Fixed or Absolute Positioning: Boxes can overlap.

Which Box is displayed if they overlap

 

Box A content goes here

Box B content goes here

Box A content goes here

Box B content goes here

OR

Overlapping Elements

Element "Closest to the front" will be displayed

z-index defines how close to front an element is.

The bigger the z-index, the closer it is to the front

selector
{
    z-index: 1;
}

Floating Elements

Floating allows you to take an element in normal flow and place it as far left or right of the containing element as possible

Anything else that sits inside the containing element flow around the floated element
