How to perform absolute positioning in CSS

[Recommended course :CSS Tutorial

The position of an absolutely positioned element has nothing to do with the document flow, so it does not occupy any space. When an element is set to absolute positioning it will be completely removed from the document flow and positioned relative to its containing block, which may be another element in the document or the initial containing block

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
div{width:100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: pink;
}
.child{
position: absolute;
background-color: skyblue;
top:50px;
left: 50px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>父元素
<div>子元素</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
