Position Property:Static

Position Property:Static Explanation--> The static position simply lays out one element after another in the "normal flow" as explained in the paragraph below. It is the default position.

The position property can be used to define how an element is displayed with respect to the normal flow. The normal flow would consist of block elements such as p, div, blockquote, typically being stacked vertically one on top of the other. Inline elements like span, code or a are typically lined up horizontally until available space runs out after which the content will break to a new line. The four values for the position property are: static (the default), absolute, fixed and relative.
