This class accepts more than one value in tailwind CSS. It is the alternative to the CSS Position property. This class is used for controlling how an element is positioned in the DOM.

Position classes:

  • static
  • fixed
  • absolute
  • relative
  • sticky

static: This class is used to set the position of an element according to the normal flow of the document.

Syntax:

<element class="static">...</element>

Example:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html> 
<head
    <link href=
"https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss@^1.0/dist/tailwind.min.css" 
          rel="stylesheet"
</head
  
<body class="text-center"
<center>
    <h1 class="text-green-600 text-5xl font-bold">
        GeeksforGeeks
    </h1
    <b>Tailwind CSS Position Class</b
        <div class="static text-left p-2 m-2 bg-green-200 h-48">        
        <p class="font-bold">Static parent</p>
  
  
        <div class="absolute bottom-0 left-0 p-2
                    bg-green-500">
              
<p>Absolute child</p>
  
        </div>
    </div>
</center>
</body
  
</html>


Output:

fixed: This class will be positioned fixed to the viewport. An element with fixed positioning allows it to remain at the same position even we scroll the page. We can set the position of the element using the top, right, bottom, left.

Syntax:

<element class="fixed">...</element>

Example:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
