CSS top Property

CSS top Property

 

 

The top property is used to change the vertical position of a positioned element. It does not work on non-positioned elements.

  1. If position is absolute or position is fixed then the top property sets the top of an element to a unit to the top of the top edge of its nearest positioned ancestor.
  2. If position is relative then the top property sets the top of an element to a unit to the top/bottom of its normal position.
  3. If position is sticky then the top property behaves like its position is relative when the element is inside the viewport, and like its position is fixed when it is outside.
  4. If position is static then the top property has no effect.
