Set the bottom edge of the <div> element to 10px above the bottom edge of its nearest parent element with some positioning:
div.absolute {
position: absolute;
bottom: 10px;
width: 50%;
border: 3px solid #8AC007;
}
Definition and Usage
The bottom property specifies the vertical position of a positioned element. This property has no effect on non-positioned elements.
- If position: absolute; or position: fixed; – the bottom property specifies the distance between the element’s bottom edge and the bottom edge of its containing block.
- If position: relative; – the bottom property makes the element’s bottom edge to move above/below its normal position.
- If position: sticky; – the bottom property behaves like its position is relative when the element is inside the viewport, and like its position is fixed when it is outside.
- If position: static; – the bottom property has no effect.
