Best explanation ever. I learned a trick I never understood before from this post- you can use absolute positioning inside relative positioning. I comment rarely but this is HUGE! It’s like you are the only css writer that is clued in to this great capability.

There are so many people posting meaningless css tutorials and cluttering the internet with useless relative positioning examples. You have posted a fantastic tutorial with real world examples. Good on you!

This is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen, nor complex, clear and even in a basic way tells you a lot.

I wanna thank your honest job.

Simply the best tutorial on css positioning.
This puts all other tutorials on this topic I’ve seen so far to shame.

I’m veru grateful abou the part 4 position:relative + position:absolute.
This is the first time I saw how nested div’s work on each other.
However, if you want to attach a background-image to the containing div (with position: relative) it is important to give the containing div height, otherwise all the contained div’s do not make up any height, and the background disappears.
