CSS position properties (relative, absolute, fixed, position sticky, and floats) - Webflow tutorial
Using the position property is one of many ways you can change the layout and positioning of an element to create unique web layouts. You can even specify the stacking order of positioned elements that overlap other elements using z-index.
Here we’ll cover the values you can set for the Position and Float properties:
00:00 - Introduction
00:26 - Static positioning
00:55 - Relative positioning
03:33 - Absolute positioning
06:15 - Fixed positioning
10:11 - Sticky positioning
13:17 - Floats & clears
Note: We’re transitioning to a new UI, and are in the process of updating our Webflow University content.

I swear to God, I've been doing web development for 20 years, and this is the first time I truly understand the difference between these property values...

Thank you for your kind words, Bruno!
I've already watched like 100+ hours of content with this guy. I don't even use Webflow. Just love these videos
I think I’m falling hopelessly in love with Webflow. This is the second Webflow employee in as many days that I have been given no choice, but to refer to as delightful. It used to be that the only viable way to learn something about Webflow was to watch Ran Segal over at Flux. Webflow university existed, but the content often felt like a chore. But now, now!? Webflow University is fully accredited and this man (what’s his name?) is the headmaster. Ran’s still awesome, too.
As a developer understanding css position properties took me an entire day, as a designer I learnt it in 17 minutes watching this video! Thanks a lot! 👍
I love the combination of covering what is kind of a super-boring topic in a way that is informative, energetic and mildly humorous.
First, I'm blown away by the power of Webflow. Second, [changes z-index to make it first] your teaching is so brillant. It is exactly what's needed to make learning this complex subject fun!

I can imagine the hard work behind bringing us such amazing content.
I've been trying to learn CSS properly for over 3 years now and I haven't heard a more simple and understandable explanation for positioning in CSS until this video
This is brilliant. Thank you!! All the professors and teachers should learn from you on how to teach.
Where has this teacher / course been all my life? Amazing.
Man, You taught me which my University could not. You speak like scientists with confidenceand clear explanation without any off topic. Keep doing that, you have a new follower today. Thanks.
4 years of computer programming courses and I never understood positioning properties until now.
Where were you when I was at school? This is the way how teachers supposed to teach at schools. He just literally make learning so sophisticated-fun simple and no painful at all. Thank you!
The guy is a literal star, no doubt.
This is incredible, he made the concept of positioning so much easy to understand.

After 15 years of trials and errors I finally understood this.
Man, these are good videos. Quality in speed, script and humor.
Excellent tutorial!!! Not just about Webflow, but about CSS as well.
This guy is seriously so funny! Keep up the great work with these training videos.
I can't express how good that it. Glad I've stumbled upon this.
i'm a designer who knows nothing about coding and these videos are a godsend!
This is the absolute and practical explanation of Positions. Thank you

this deserves millions of views

You just made my life a lot easier, thanks a lot.
Excellent content and presentation. Well planned script, wry comments. Far better than the previous video I watched, with a guy seemingly winging it by demonstrating technique with no explanation. When/if I get through all this, I can get back to ST Insurrection.
Thanks to this very significant course! It really helps
Really well explained with great examples. Very straight faced delivery had me confused until the very straight faced jokes were introduced which I loved. Informative, intelligent AND Funny. Loved it 🤩🤩
Came to understand the positioning in webflow but understood the real CSS positioning much better!
love this guys humor
Better than any teacher I ever had in High School
Amazing, just what i need!!
Very informative and very entertaining...this guy should present the Oscars lol
Make so much sense. Muchas gracias
This is just AMAZING!!!!
Thank you! very useful!
Really well explained!
That will help me get out of my shell at parties, bring up z-index as ice breakers
Fixed positioning... Meryl Streep is always there. Haha, best tutorials out there!
You guys are genuinely so funny
Man, we LOVE webflow. I can't believe I ever used wordpress.
Amazing! Thanks

Whoever hired this guy at Webflow made a great decision.
Finally got it.
Fun and educational :D

On to the next video!
this is what happens when you want to be a standup comedian but your mom want you to be a teacher :)) love these content

This teacher is just amazing!!! What is this tool he is using?
Not all heros wear capes 💪
We fucking love you. So legendary
Knock Knock. Is this the greatest channel to learn web fundamentals?
This guy should be the onr invented the web
Do these things matter: no. But yes, they do!
Every time someone asks me why I've switched to Webflow I show them these videos.
This is so cool. On my blog, I have a LOT of absolute and relative positioning, and I have been told not to use it often. I'm so stuck on this, and not sure what else to do. It's a 3 column layout blog. Any advice?
ver!y nice
Wow !
Question: Can Webflow build dynamic business directory type of websites?
can we add ::before and ::after pseudo selectors in webflow?
What is the name of program he is using? I guess , it is a good way to practice new stuff.

@Webflow @9:33 When i place the child dive block inside 80% of dark opacity dive block , the child element also inherit the 80% opacity so how to fix the child element opacity to 100%? In the Opacity effect the child opacity is 100% but visually its opacity is also 80% means all the body is shown behind both the parent and child element.

I was like "What‽" seconds before he said " that was a terrible sentence" lol
I'm enjoying and learning from these videos, but I have to say you guys run through the content REALLY fast. I know it's a "Crash Course" but it's faster than I can even take notes and comprehend fully at the same time. I have to go back over and over again to re-listen to the same info to make sure I'm taking accurate and relevant notes. Slowing down via the playback speed settings in KZread helps a little, but it's more an effect of how the videos were devised to be paced in the first place. Very little "white space" to use a design term.
I think my AP Calculus teacher forgot to tell me 2 is greater than 1. What a waste of tuition fee when you have webflow lol.

@@shubhamparekh9808 You can check the video channel suggested above, since it also shows you how to display stuff that is saved in Firebase database. I have a programmer that connected my project to Firebase, a little complicated if you don't know coding. At the beginning we used glitch.com did all the configuration there and then pasted a javascript file inside Webflow custom code. Now we are using webpack
i get nervous changing a bunch of things to relative, but now i'm wonder why isn't everything just relative by default for more control. typically things are built relative to one another so the exception is when they ignore their surroundings.

There are a few reasons why static is the default position value for HTML elements: Simplicity and predictability: Setting elements to static ensures that they follow the natural flow of the HTML document. This makes it easier for developers to build web pages without needing to explicitly define positioning for every element. Performance: The static position doesn't require any calculations or rendering adjustments, so it can be rendered more efficiently by the browser. This is particularly important for performance-sensitive scenarios, such as when rendering large web pages or complex layouts. Accessibility: The default static positioning helps ensure that web pages remain accessible to assistive technologies, such as screen readers. These technologies rely on the document flow to provide a meaningful reading experience, so altering the default positioning could potentially disrupt that experience. While static is the default position value, developers have the flexibility to change it to other values such as relative, absolute, fixed, or sticky. These alternative position values allow elements to be positioned in different ways, enabling more complex and customized layouts on web pages.
