The position property sets what kind of positioning scheme should be used:
| Property | Value | Description |
| position: | static | This is the normal positioning scheme. The left and top properties do not apply. |
| position: | relative | Offsets are relative to the box's normal position. |
| position: | absolute | Offsets are relative to the box's containing block. |
| position: | fixed | Offsets are the same as in the absolute model, but are fixed with respect to a particular point of reference. For example, when viewed in a browser, fixed elements won't move when scrolled. |
(The position can also be set to inherit, like most other CSS properties.)
