Positioning

Using CSS, you can place elements exactly on a page using a technique called “positioning.” Positioning is determined by an X axis and Y axis. To specify a specific point on the screen, you can use the X and Y coordinate for that point.
There are several ways to specify position in CSS: absolute, relative, fixed, inherit, and static.
The three most often used are absolute, relative, and fixed.
Internet Explorer 6 only recognizes absolute and relative.
Internet Explorer 7 only recognizes fixed in “standards-compliant” mode (if the web page is using strict XHTML).
