# HTML DOM position Property

Complete Style Object Reference

## Definition and Usage

The position property places an element in a static, relative, absolute or fixed position.

## Syntax

    Object.style.position=static|relative|absolute|fixed

## Possible Values

Value | Description
--- | ---
static | Default. An element with position: static always has the position the normal flow of the page gives it (a static element ignores any top, bottom, left, or right declarations)
relative | An element with position: relative moves an element relative to its normal position, so "left:20" adds 20 pixels to the element's LEFT position
absolute | An element with position: absolute is positioned at the specified coordinates relative to its containing block. The element's position is specified with the "left", "top", "right", and "bottom" properties
fixed | An element with position: fixed is positioned at the specified coordinates relative to the browser window. The element's position is specified with the "left", "top", "right", and "bottom" properties. The element remains at that position regardless of scrolling. Works in IE 7 (strict mode)

## Example

The following example changes an element position from relative to absolute:

    <html>
    <head>
    <style type="text/css">
    input
    {
    position:relative;
    }
    </style>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function setPositionAbsolute()
    {
    document.getElementById("b1").style.position="absolute";
    document.getElementById("b1").style.top="10px";
    }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>

    <p>This is an example paragraph</p>
    <p>This is an example paragraph</p>

    <input type="button" id="b1" onclick="setPositionAbsolute()"
    value="Set button position to be absolute" />

    </body>
    </html>
